The Man vot drives "The Chancery" Fast Coach
Cruikshank here uses the coaching imagery found in a slightly earlier group of satires by William Heath to focus on protagonists involved with the Catholic Emancipation debates of 1829. This example portrays John Singleton Copley, Lord Lyndhurst (the son of the artist of the same name).
