Members of the Whig Club [graphic]

"Norfolk (left) and Fox (right) sit close together, hands on knees, the left knee of Norfolk and the right knee of Fox touching; their heads are turned in profile, each gazing fixedly at the other with a melancholy expression. On the back of Norfolk's chair is a ducal coronet; Fox sits on a stool. At their feet is an open book: 'List of his Maje[stys] \ Privy Council \ Earl of.. Lord.. \ Duke of D...\ Earl of... \ Rt Hon. C. J. Fox [scored through] Duke of Leed[s]'. By Norfolk is a torn paper: 'Lord Lieutenant of the West Riding York . .' Under Fox's feet: 'A Seat in Parliament to be disposed off enquire at next General Election'. Under this is another paper: 'Speech Whig Club'. Their words (or thoughts) are etched beneath the title (left): 'Charley, keep a civil \ Tongue in your Head'. (right) 'Jocky of Norfolk \ be not so bold'."--British Museum online catalogue
