Gulliver casting a damper upon the royal fireworks at Lilliput : a hasty sketch of yesterday's business / J.S., f.
The Speaker (Charles Cornwall) in his hat and robes stands in back view directing a stream (as Gulliver extinguished the fire in the royal apartments in Lilliput) upon Lilliputian fortifications and cannon; those seen between his legs are being dashed to pieces. Beyond are the masts of ships. The devastating stream is inscribed "Casting vote." Cf. George.
