- Abstract:
- "Two men stand in the pillory on a small platform (left); over their heads is a cask, inscribed 'Small Beer', erected on a pole. Over the head of one left is Judas, indicating Sir Cecil Wray, over the other 'J.. k-s..n' indicating John Jackson, steward of the Duke of Newcastle and a prominent supporter of Wray, see British Museum Satires No. 6492. A large key hangs from the corner of the pillory, the emblem of the back-stairs by which Pitt and his supporters were supposed to have obtained office, cf. British Museum Satires No. 6564. Behind (right) walks a procession of maidservants who look scornfully at the victims; one carries a flag inscribed 'Tax on Maid Servants'; others, a broom, a mop, and a shovel. Immediately behind the platform the heads of a crowd, a row of staves marking the constables who stand in front, are suggested. Fox (right) stands in the foreground haranguing the crowd; he holds a Union flag inscribed 'The Rights of the Commons'. Behind him is a mob of men waving their hats, among whom Sam House is conspicuous. The scene is by the hustings in Covent Garden, the portico of the church (right) being lighdy sketched behind Fox."--British Museum online catalogue.
