By Charles Williams. Four fat farmers, with long, grotesque, dismayed faces stand (right) facing the mayor, who sits (right) in an armchair, pen in hand, by a table covered with a fringed cloth. They carry sacks of wheat under their arms, and say: "Mr Mayor, we have brought great Quantities of Corn to Market and no body will buy, we request your advice what to do with it." He answers: "Do with it? why, as you have done, Keep it!!!" He has been writing on a paper headed 'Plan for Regulating the Price of Wheat'. On his table are inkstand and a 'Bible' resting on a larger volume: 'Act . . .' He wears old-fashioned dress with flapped waistcoat and high-quartered shoes. Beside him stands his clerk, a fashionably dressed young man (not caricatured), holding up a paper: 'Ordered the price of bread to be lowered One Half tomorrow'. An open window frames a view of a market-place in a country town. Two wagons are piled high with sacks inscribed: 'To go back' and 'To go back No Purchasers.' A wagoner in a smock looks in at the window, saying: "Dang I, if I did not think it would come to this at last." Description from the British Museum. A companion print to LF100/5/57.
