'The Protestant's Champion!!', 1825. Frederick, Duke of York walks down Whitehall past Horse Guards, the head-quarters of the commander-in-chief of the British Army. He raises his top hat in greeting or acknowledgement. Frederick opposed Catholic emancipation and made a speech on the subject in the House of Lords, hence the reference to his championing of Protestantism.
