Burking Poor Old Mrs Constitution, Aged 141
(1829), a satirical cartoon by the British artist
William Heath
(1794–1840). It depicts
the Duke of Wellington
and
Robert Peel
in the roles of the body-snatchers
Burke and Hare
, suffocating Mrs Docherty for sale to
Dr Knox
. This cartoon represents Wellington's and Peel's perceived extinguishing of the
Constitution of 1688
through the
Catholic Emancipation
, particularly the
Roman Catholic Relief Act
of 1829.
