Termination of the Row in Parliament Street, Plate 2nd
Not on view
This satire characterizes the British politicians Eldon and Wellington as brawling market women. They opposed one another in Parliament over the Catholic Relief Bill (ground-breaking legislation of 1829 that extended new rights to Roman Catholics). An earlier print (which is not in the Museum's collection), shows the two preparing to fight. In this sequel, Eldon has been knocked down by Wellington. From 1827–29 Heath signed his caricatures with the image of a little dandy holding an umbrella, seen here at lower right, a reference to Paul Pry who was a nosy character in an 1825 play.
