Title
The chancery broom sweeping through the ranks.
Description
English: Above the design: '"Cedant Arma Toga"'. Brougham's state carriage extends across the design with the horses' heads approaching the arch leading to Horse Guards Parade (right), where the muzzle of the Regent's Bomb (see BM Satires No. 12799, &c.) is seen. Life Guardsmen try to stop the coach; an officer has fallen awkwardly on the cobbles. Brougham leans from the window holding a bulky mace in his right hand; with the left hand he points to the right, saying:


'With Law's proud emblem glittering in this hand,
Who dares the Champion of Reform withstand?
Go, Bloodless Warriors! seek your Chiefs, & say
The stern School Master's in the Field to-day'.
The coachman lashes the horses, the two footmen behind the coach are grinning. The coach has many coroneted crests, as in BM Satires No. 16616, and a coat of arms, correct except for the supporters who are broom-girls (see BM Satires No. 14709), and with Brougham's motto 'Pro Rege, Lege Grege'. Below the title:
'"He said, and hasty o'er the gasping throng"
"Drives the swift steeds; the chariot smokes along."
Homers Iliad. B viii 190'. 25 April 1831

Licensing[edit]

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
