Brougham, in the character of town-crier, rings a bell held in his right hand and reads from a paper: 'Whereas a certain antient and curious Volume, has been recently discovered, and rescued from the / Obscurity in which it had long lain, & brought to light under the immediate patronage of Royalty ...'. Top-hatted Tories crowd around him on both sides: Peel stands at the extreme left, Lord Wharncliffe in the left foreground and Wellington beside him. Eldon stands behind Brougham to the right with Wetherell behind. Cumberland stands at the far right, a cane held in his left hand. The young Prince George (Cumberland's son and nephew of William IV) stands in the right foreground waving his cap. Signed with monogram at lower left: 'HB'. Title printed below the border: 'O YES! O YES! O YES!'. The publisher's details printed below: 'Published by Thos. McLean, 26, Haymarket, Decr. 6th 1831.'. A small, circular blind stamp at lower left: 'THOs. MCLEAN'.
