‘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. Size 34 x 23 cm

'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.
