Cartoon depicts Sir Henry Parkes attired in top hat, cravat, gloves, overcoat, and spats, with walking stick, gesturing nonchalantly with his left hand. Parkes has his back turned to a rotund man wearing knee high boots, tailcoat, and top hat with ‘Capital’ written on the hatband. ‘Capital’ holds two cards: ‘New South Wales Debentures’ in his right hand and 'I.O.U.', dropping from his left hand.
