Cartoon, The Man Wot Plays Several Instruments At Once -- a satirical comment on Sir Robert Peel's attempt to improve Protestant-Catholic relationships by increasing a grant to Maynooth College, a Catholic seminary in Ireland, which provoked great opposition in the English parliament. Peel is depicted banging a big drum, while Lord John Russell, typically depicted as a small boy, looks up at him in puzzlement.
