Three candidates for Westminster election are shown under the portico of St. Paul's, from left, Admiral Rodney, accompanied by the figure of Neptune, sword in his right hand, announcement of victory over the Spanish fleet at Gibraltar in his left; Charles James Fox, holding in his left hand an open book inscribed "Magna Charta" and accompanied by the figure of Britannia petting a fox seated in her lap; Lord Lincoln, who lost the election, with a devil hovering above him. He is holding a scroll inscribed with the number of purchased votes and acknowledgement of bringing the news of the capture of Charleston. Below the portico the poll-clerks sit behind a long table, their books on top. Fox's supporters are gathered to the right and can be distinguished by fox's tails in their hats. A band of butchers plays in the foreground. More tails are offered for sale at the stand to the far right. A man carries a stuffed fox on a pole, placarded "4878 Reynard for ever." Next to him is a barrel of beer
