Below the title: 'Vot caught the Sovereign, the original to be seen at Scott's Oyster Rooms 1. Southampton Street, Strand, London.' The head and broad shoulders of Lady Conyngham fill an oyster-shell, on the irregular edge of which profiles are concealed, with numbers referring to notes below the design. She wears a wide-brimmed dilapidated hat, in which is a tobacco-pipe, to suggest an oyster-woman, but is bejewelled and has a cross hanging from her necklace to indicate that she was a "Catholic", cf. BM Satires No. 15716. A large sovereign fills the space between her bust and the lower part of the shell. The surrounding profiles are: 'I Geo. King, Proprietor of the Oyster Beds' [George IV]. '2 Peter the Dredgerman' [snub and inconspicuous features]. '3 Arthur Cad to the Proprietor' [Wellington]. '4 Woman vot open'd the Oyster' [not discoverable]. '5 The Watchman to the Sovereign' [? Cumberland].  August 1829
