  <dc:title>A Catalanian Attack on a Chance-Seller</dc:title>
  <dc:description>The Italian singer Catalani [Angelica Catalani, 1780-1849], depicted here as a cat, attacks the Chancellor Eldon.  The cat, wearing a dress and feathers,  has knocked the Chancellor's wig off.  She sits on his shoulder, scratching his face, and says:
"You would not give five shillings to hear me sing would not you! You unfeeling being! - But I'll make you suffer for it."
Eldon, holding up his hands, cries:
"Who will rid me of this Termagant?"
He is surrounded by six barristers all in wigs.  Some look shocked, others pleased.
