George Cruikshank - A Radical Reformer, colored etching, 1819
(i e) a neck or nothing man! Dedicated to the heads of the nation.
"The 'Heads of the Nation' flee in terror from a huge grotesque monster (left) whose body is a guillotine from which flames stream after the fugitives. The creature wears a bonnet rouge, its jaws, with huge teeth and dripping blood, extend across the upper edge of the guillotine whose curved blade forms a vast chin. Arms project from just below the jaws, a dagger in the right hand; blood drips from the dagger and from the crisped talons of the left hand. Grotesque bowed legs in ragged breeches splay from below the guillotine, centred by the round hole for the victim's neck from which blood gushes, and through which peers a grinning skull. From the vast mouth issue the words: "I'm a coming! I'm a coming! I shall have you, though I'm at your heels now I'll be at your Head's presently, "come all to me that are troubled with money & I warrant I'll make you easy!!" Behind and on the extreme left, supported on clouds, daggers march forward, followed by tiny guillotine-Reformers who chant: "and a Hunting we vill go".
The most prominent fugitive is Castlereagh, who looks over his shoulder, saying, "Och! by the powers! & I don't like the looks of him atall! atall!" He has dropped a large green bag inscribed 'Castle[reag]h's Bag', from which gold coins are pouring. Liverpool falls face downwards across a similar bag: 'Liverpool's Bag'. On the extreme right, his face cut off by the margin, is the Regent running fast despite a gouty leg; his wig flies off, and he exclaims: "Oh! My Wig's off!!" Eldon, close behind, his (Chancellor's) wig also flying away, answers: "Never mind, so long as your head's on!" At the Regent's feet lies a crown, near two bags '100000 G P R his Bag' and 'Old Bag's Bag'. Other figures are indicated; behind, a bishop with a grossly bloated nose intended for the Archbishop of Canterbury (cf. No. 13276) flees in wild terror, losing wig and mitre."
The etching can also be found here.
Below is another monster guillotine by Cruikshank.
