- Abstract
-
"Fox and North stand in the pillory on a small platform supported on a post above the heads of a circle of spectators. Their heads only are confined; North is in back-view, Fox stands full-face looking to the left, his hands clasped. The spectators are three quarter length; Sam House is conspicuous (left) holding a foaming tankard and saying, "Come Charly here's to the Electors of Westminster one Good Turn deserves another". A woman in back-view holds a basket of eggs on her hip; she says, "Come Who'll buy my Plumpers Two a Penny Plumpers". A man next her (right) is about to throw an egg, saying, "Here goes a Plumper for Charly".--British Museum online catalogue
