Title
A dream
Description
English: O'Connell lies asleep, wreathed in smiles, next his wife, whose profile is framed by a frilled cap. Beside the bed (right) are his barrister's wig on a wig-block, a tripod supporting a wash-basin and inscribed 'Holy Water', many recently opened letters, one 'To Daniel O'Connell Esqr M.P.', the others showing only the broken seal and a large 'M.P.' The dream, ringed by clouds, fills the space above the bed. His wig and gown, in back view, is a storm-centre; the tails of the wig fly outward, each pointing to the word 'agitation'. Beside it are the Mace and the Purse of the Great Seal; the royal robes with crown, sceptre, and collar of the Garter forming the King, and, as if being blown into space, Wellington, Peel, and Lyndhurst, all dismayed.

Notes

(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', XI, 1954)

A satire on O'Connell's boundless ambitions after his re-election for Clare following his rebuff at Westminster, see No. 15759, &c, to be attained by agitation. His election speeches were inflammatory; he promised to work for repeal of the Union. 'Ann. Reg.', 1829, pp. 124 ff. See No. 15749, &c.

It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
