The Italian singer Catalini, depicted here as a cat, attacks the Chancellor Eldon. The cat, wearing a dress and feathers, has knocked the Chancellor's wig off. She sits on his shoulder, scratching his face, and says: You would not give five shillings to hear me sing would not you! You unfeeling being! - But I'll make you suffer for it.
Eldon, holding up his hands, cries: Who will rid me of this Termagant? He is surrounded by six barristers all in wigs. Some look shocked, others pleased.
This fine engraving has been hand coloured and inscribed along the bottom of the plate with the title, the artist's name and the publisher's name (Thomas Tegg).
On wove.The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. There are several small tears into the lower and left edges, these have all been repaired to some degree. There is some creasing at the lower right corner.
