Summary
"A fight between Lyndhurst and Peel with Ellenborough and Wellington as bottle-holders. Lyndhurst (left), in Chancellor's wig and gown, staggers back, arms flung out, at a punch on the nose from Peel who lunges forward, ruthlessly pugnacious. Ellenborough, dressed and behaving as a dandy (in tight-waisted blue coat and white bell-shaped trousers), holding a tubular eau-de-cologne bottle, emblem of the dandy, cf. BM Satires No. 13031, registers alarm, exclaiming, 'Oh! Oh! my dear Lud, take care--he's a terrible hitter--or he'll have your Ludship's dear head in Chancery.' Wellington (right), in uniform with sword, gauntlets, and heavily spurred cavalry boots, says: 'That's it Bob; serve him out--He won't ride rusty after this I know.'"--British Museum online catalogue.
