Not on view
A British political satire commenting on the Green Bag and Milan Commission of 1820. Ministers, Lords Liverpool, Sidmouth and Castlereagh, are dressed as the witches of Macbeth, and toss ingredients into a cauldron labeled "divorce", "Cooke", "Leach", "Reports," etc. At left and right stand George IV and Frederick, Duke of York. The Duke of Wellington, as a small devil, tends the fire with a Waterloo poker.
