Description |
English: William IV (right) in the court dress of an admiral, with Garter ribbon and star, stands directed to the left, holding a cross-hilted sword horizontally above the kneeling ass-headed Key, who kneels, stooping abjectly, his furred gown trailing behind him. His aldermanic chain is represented by fetter-like links to which a key is attached. Behind him (left) stands the horse-headed Hunter making a deprecating gesture; both wear court dress under their gowns.

Notes |
(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', XI, 1954) Key, despite this ridicule, see No. 16303, &c, was re-elected in 1831 for a second term (a rare honour, see No. 12809) as an active Reformer in the City. He was made a baronet in Aug. 1831. But in 1833 he was forced to resign his seat in Parliament when it came to light that he had obtained a contract with the Stationery Office worth £60,000 a year in his brother's name and had induced Lord Grey to appoint his son (a minor) an inspector, whose duties would include reporting on the quality of his father's paper; he deceived Grey as to his son's age. The 'D.N.B.' is silent on this. Greville, 'Memoirs', 1938, ii. 405. |

[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:
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. ![]() |
