The Saveall, or Economy Finish:Rolled horse and cart'The Saveall, or Economy', 1828. The Duke of Wellington stands between Apsley House, (his future home still under construction), and the Triumphal Arch on Constitution Hill. He holds a candlestick fitted with a saveall, a device which allowed the wick to burn to the very bottom without waste. The image is a satire on Wellington's lavish expenditure and trifling domestic economies.
