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. Available on CD 166.
