- Abstract:
- "A ragged, dwarfish man, a pair of bellows under his arm, his apron full of guineas, is led to the poll by the Duchess of Devonshire (right) and is pushed forward by a florid over-dressed woman (left) whose breast is exposed. Jenkins has a large head with a hairy chin and a feminine figure; the Duchess puts a hand under his chin and turns to look at the crowd on the hustings, who wildly cheer his approach, except for two seated poll-clerks who appear surprised. ... Both women have elaborate head-dresses of feathers, &c, with a fillet inscribed 'Townsend'. Mother Windsor has a damaged nose and a patched face; from her pocket protrudes a paper inscribed 'List of Mrs Windsor'[s] Nuns'. She is followed (left) by three of these 'nuns' (cf. BMSat 5177, &c), who are pretty young women (cf. BMSat 6547). On the hustings behind a wooden barricade Townshend raises his hat and holds out his hand towards Jenkins. Burke looks over his shoulder and Sheridan (on the extreme right) stands beside nun in profile to the left, clasping his hands in satisfaction. The most prominent of those on the hustings is Fox, behind the Duchess, who waves his hat, raising both arms. Two poll-clerks, holding pens, sit in front of Townshend and Fox.."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "An election riot. In the foreground Sheridan (left) stands over Sir Sampson Wright who kneels on the ground in abject alarm. Sheridan holds him by the collar and shakes his fist in his face; from his pocket protrudes a paper inscribed 'Drury Lane'. On the right is a party of Guards, one pierces with his bayonet Fox's posterior, drawing blood. Fox, the central figure, prances in pain and alarm, his hat falling off. Behind, Townshend (?) and Burke hold up their hands in shocked surprise. One of the Guards deliberately pierces with his bayonet the posterior of his own officer, a lean foppish man resembling the officer in BMSat 7174. The other Guards (right) carrying muskets against their shoulders watch both outrages with amusement. Behind Sheridan and on the extreme left is a man holding up a banner, inscribed 'Valiant Townsend', on which are a wine-bottle and glass and a dice-box and dice. In the background is a dense crowd represented by heads and by hats, two of which are being waved in the air. Beneath the design is etched: 'When Sampson as Justice - by Soldiers defended, Went to quell wicked Whigs who've mild peace oft offended, Bold Brindsley seiz'd on him, & swore he'd well shake him, Crying, Justice ne'er did, nor e'er should overtake him. Bow, wow, wow. Sampson down on his knees like a Saint at devotion, Drops his Jaw-Bone, - while F-x seconds Brindleys mad motion, The Guards do their duty - prick Charles - he beseeches, And alarm'd, then let's fly - thro' his sad sattin Breeches, Bow wow wow.'"--British Museum online catalogue
