Description:
Satirical caricature of Wellington falling off his horse at the review in Hyde Park on 28 May. After the fall he was “immensely” cheered by the crowd.
Wellington, sword in hand, falls from his horse, his white trousers crashing into a patch of cow-dung. He wears (in place of his field-marshal’s cocked hat) a bearskin so enormous that it may well have overbalanced him. His horse stands beside him, pawing the ground. Behind (right) a group of mounted officers watch the accident. On the left two privates in huge bearskins stand at attention.
