Sherry's Plan of Economy, or the Speaker Traveling in Stile, 3 April 1803
Scope and Contents
Artist: Isaac Cruikshank. Published: S. W. Fores. In a clumsy two-wheeled chaise drawn by a donkey (left to right) the Speaker sits holding a huge umbrella over himself and his mace-bearer, who sits on the box-seat driving, the mace against his shoulder. On the corner of a wall (left) is 'Parliament Street'. John Bull (right) stands facing the donkey; he says: "I like this Plan of Sheridan's much I wish it was carried on through Pall Mall [i.e. at Carlton House] as well as Parliament Street then Poor I should have less taxes to Pay." The driver remarks: "I suppose the Judges & councell are to go their Circuits in a Waggon." After the title: 'Vide Mr Sheridans Speech on the Prince's Establishment.' Description from the British Museum.
