Description
- Abstract:
- The upper part of the table of the House of Commons stretches across the design. On this lie two pairs of decollated heads, each with its appropriate collar and neck-cloth. Burdett's head (left) lies on a paper: 'Motion for the abolishing of Military flogging'; Horne Tooke's head rests against that of Burdett. On the right the heads of Grey and Grenville directed towards each other, are supported on a book; under Grenville's is a document: 'Catholic Bill'. Behind the heads lies the mace. A background is formed by the back of the Speaker's Chair, with the enormous wig and small head of Abbot. Below the design, adapting the phraseology of the 'Journals of the House of Commons'. - British Museum
