‘Caleb Quotem - the Parish

Factotum,’ pub June 1st 1829

Depicting the Duke of Wellington at the time he was Prime Minister, as the person who could do many jobs, more than the hairs on his head. Wellington as the character Caleb Quotem from George Colman’s “The review, or, The wags of Windsor” stands full-face in an old-fashion attire, holding a whip in one hand and a large Grenadier’s bearskin in the other. From his mouth and scrolling above his hear is a long descriptive list satirizing his character and career. Paul Pry (William Heath), 1795-1840, printmaker.

'The Man wot Drives The

Sovereign'

Paul Pry, (William Heath) 'The Man

wot Drives The Sovereign', 1829, 34

x 23 cm. This shows the Duke of

Wellington, caricaturists often criti-

cised Wellington when he was Prime

Minister for having too much con-

trol over the King. This much-copied

image presents Wellington as a

coach driver, with distinctive coat

and long whip. Though his gesture

of tipping his hat indicates sub-

missiveness, his stern expression

and characteristically tight smile

shows that he was resolved on his

course, even if it meant forcing the

hand of the sovereign. The Bill he

holds represents the Catholic

Emancipation Bill. Wellington had

threatened to resign unless the King

granted the Bill Royal Assent.
