- Abstract:
- "A slim man, standing, 'chapeau-bras', in profile to the right. He is fashionably dressed in a high-collared coat cut back to form tails, and shirt frill; his shoes have very large buckles. His hair is in a queue resembling that worn by the Macaronies c. 1772 but smaller and attached to the back of his head instead of falling on his shoulders. Beneath the title is etched, 'These Species of Insects, of late are become exceeding numerous, (like the Green Louse, when first brought to Amsterdam, from a single one, has proceeded such Swarms as to be of alarming Consequence) their Colours' are various, '& cast their Coats like the Camelion, sometimes to ten different Shades of a day, it is difficult to distinguish the Male of these Reptiles from the Female, as the Voice & Manner approaches nearer to the Feminine than Masculine. Liquor they are peculiarly fond of, and when in a State of Inebriation are so troublesome, that it requires a stout Cane to keep them from stinging you. They are in being all the Year round, are chiefly to be found in the Boxes of the Theatres, Publick Gardens, Concerts, &c. You may hear them long before they come to View, by a shrill squeak of Bern me, Gad Zounds, Blood & Thunder, D------m'd Boar & such Phrases. The celebrated Linneus attributes their Generation to the Putrified Essence of Lavender, Bergamot, Marchalle Powder, Violets, Pomatums, Snuff, Grease &c. &c. Although their first Appearance has a terrible Aspect, they are as harmless and inoffensive, when sober, as New Born Babes. A Buckling of this Species, differs from a Buck, much in the same manner as a Hornet to a Wasp'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state

- Abstract:
- "The Duchess of Devonshire, carrying Fox on her back, approaches an alehouse. The host, a black man named 'Mungo', stands on his doorstep delightedly filling a glass for the Duchess; a fat disreputable slattern stands behind him. The Duchess, who supports herself by a large staff, holds a full purse in her hand, saying, "For the good of the Constitution give me a Glass of Gin", the suggestion being that she will pay a large sum for the gin to secure a vote (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6548). Her hat with ostrich plumes and fox's brush has a favour inscribed 'Fox ForNi'. Fox, one hand resting on her shoulder, waves his hat; they are both in profile to the right. Over the doorway of the alehouse (or perhaps brothel) is inscribed 'Mungo's Hotel Dealer in British Spirits'; the woman says, "Give the poor Man a Vote my Dear he is a good Man for the Ladies". A dog beside her barks at the visitors. The gabled roofs and casement windows indicated in the background suggest that this is an old and disreputable part of Westminster, resembling Peter Street as in British Museum Satires No. 6548. The crowd, which is very freely sketched, also suggests a low neighbourhood; a man and woman walk or dance along, their arms round each other's shoulders; he flourishes a full tankard. An excited group shout and wave their hats round two tall standards: one, 'Fox and Liberty all over the world', above two crossed executioner's axes, the other, 'Rights of the Commons' and 'No Prerogative', with a cap of Liberty on the pole."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A group of courtesans and brothel-keepers. One of the courtesans (left) introduces the Prince of Wales, who stands beside her, to another standing in profile to the left. She says, "He is as Generous as a Prince And a Prince should not be Limmited". He says, "He supported my cause", an allusion to the political crisis which arose on the question of the Prince's establishment, see British Museum Satires No. 6257. Two stout bawds stand in conversation in the centre of the design, smiling at each other; they wear cloaks and hoods and carry muffs; one, identified by Mr. Hawkins as Mrs Windsor, says, "He introduced his R- H to my house". Behind and on the extreme right, a third courtesan, older than the others, and of debauched appearance, waving a fox's brush."--British Museum online catalogue

Wray, kneeling on one knee, and Hood standing behind him (right) look up eagerly to the balloon, holding out their hands. Wrays says, "A foul wind is fair for us"; Hood says, "O come sweet Air Balloon or I must off in one".

Her own infant, seated on the ground (right) neglected, stretches out her arms to her mother with a protesting scream. In the foreground (left) a cat licks the face of a dog which sits on its hind legs, while a kitten crawls neglected beside it. Behind the animals is an empty cradle. On the wall (left) is Reynolds's portrait of the Duke of Devonshire standing beside his horse, as in British Museum Satires No. 6529. Another portrait (right) is of a stout man wearing a hat walking to the right, one hand in his pocket, the other resting on a stick (? Fox).

- Abstract:
- "An election-procession marches (right to left) towards the hustings which are indicated by a corner of the pediment of St. Paul's Church and a crowd. A band of butchers, with marrow-bones and cleavers, heads the procession. Next walks the Duchess of Devonshire, holding up on a pole a pair of breeches inscribed 'Man of the People', and surmounted by a crowing cock. She is followed by a lady holding up on a pole a placard with 'Fox (a fox) and the Rights of the Commons'. A third lady holds up on a pole a mob-cap and apron inscribed 'No Tax on Maid Servants'. They are followed by sturdy-looking citizens wearing 'Fox' favours, one of whom carries a fourth standard: a key tied in a hoop and inscribed 'Key of the Back Stairs', [This emblem appears to have been first used on 14 Feb., during Fox's procession to Devonshire House (see British Museum Satires No. 6421, &c), when 'at Lord Temple's, a wag held up a flag tied to a stick, hung round with crape, which he called 'the Secret Influence Key in Mourning'. Full and Authentic Account of the Proceedings in Westminster Hall', 1784, pp. 26-7 n.] in allusion to the 'secret influence' which favoured Pitt, cf. British Museum Satires No. 6417. &c, 6557, 6592, 7139, 7325, 7339, 7372, 7634, 8102. House is seen between the first two ladies, waving his hat and wildly cheering the procession; other spectators do the same. See British Museum Satires No. 6475, &c. The Duchess is more characterized than her two companions, who are probably her sister Lady Duncannon and perhaps Mrs. Crewe, cf. British Museum Satires No. 6493, &c. All three wear the ostrich plumes and fox's brush which were worn as emblems of the Prince of Wales and of Fox."--British Museum online catalogue

- "The Duchess of Devonshire stands, her feet apart, raising her skirt to allow a fox (Fox) to take cover under her petticoats. She turns her head in profile to the right towards a huntsman on foot who halloos to his hounds, "Tally O my good Dogs"; his two dogs bark, "No Coalition" and "No India Bill". The duchess says, "My dear Fox get into Cover". She looks very-handsome and bold, a sash round her waist streams out in the wind; in her hat are the usual ostrich plumes (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6530, &c), fox's brush, and favour inscribed 'Fox'. The fox crouches under her feet, looking round at his pursuers in alarm."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state

Behind the throne crouches Bute in Highland dress, saying to Thurlow, "Very Gude, Very Gude Damn the Commons". On the king's left is a head in profile to the left supported on an erect serpent's body; probably intended for Pitt (a poor portrait but resembling Pitt in British Museum Satires No. 6664). In the foreground (right) sits Britannia asleep, resting her elbow on her shield.
