"The interior of the House of Commons. The Duchess of Devonshire carries Fox on her shoulders; she looks round at the 'rabble' who follow her, headed by a little chimney-sweep, using his brush and shovel to beat a tune. She says, "When I take a thing in hand I always succeed". Her hair is decorated with a fox's brush. Fox in his orator's attitude, right fist clenched and held out, hat held out in his left hand, says, "I could never have got in without your Grace's assistance". Behind the chimneysweep is (?) Sam House in a shirt and breeches which are unfastened at the knee; he holds up on a pole a chemise or shift inscribed 'All sorts of Shifts made by C. J. Fox', saying, "This is the Devonshire method of introducing Members - Carlo for ever". Behind is a man with a lighted torch or link, saying, 'Sir Cecil has got the Devonshire Cholic'. A band of butchers play on marrow-bones and cleavers; one of them says, "She is a devilish fine Carcass - fine Meat!" On a pole is the cap of Liberty together with a fox's brush and a petticoat. In the background (right) the Speaker, in his chair behind the table with the mace, &c, and clerks are freely sketched: a sea of heads behind indicates the members."--British Museum online catalogue

"Figures representing the five countries who were at war. A tall Dutchman stands looking up with a face of despair, in his left hand he holds out a paper inscribed, "Eustatia lost, Oh! Oh!" He says, "I shall Die, I'm undone! My best hope is now gone!" A laughing English sailor (left) standing on his right holds a small bottle inscribed "Gin" to his nose, saying, "High & Mighty's [an allusion to 'Hogen Mogen', "the high mightiness", or the States General of the United Provinces] your Grief, Smell this for Relief." In his right hand he holds a netted purse taken from the Dutchman. On the right stand the other enemy powers: Spain, in slashed doublet, cloak, feathered hat, and top-boots, is reading a newspaper 'Gaze', ['London Gazette'] and sayings "If this News is true, It will make us all rue." Behind him are France (left) and America (right). France holds up his hands with an expression of alarm, saying, "St Eustatia by Gar, Vas de Storehouse of War."
