"In a room at the Pavilion Prince Leopold is introduced to Princess Charlotte, a bashful girl holding a skipping-rope in her gloved hands. She is pushed forward by Queen Charlotte (right), lean, ugly, and wearing court dress with a tiara. The Queen holds a large snuff-box inscribed 'Strasbo[urg]' (see British Museum Satires No. 12066) and says: "Go along Scape grace speak kindly to him." The Regent in the doorway on the extreme left propels the prince forward with the end of a crutch, using the other as a support to his gouty left leg. He says: "Courage Man! don't be bashfull!" A garter inscribed 'Honi soit' holds up the bulky covering of his gouty leg. Prince Leopold wears a braided and fur-bordered hussar tunic with tight pantaloons and spurred Hessian boots. His left hand is on the hilt of a large sabre, and he holds his heavily plumed and tasselled shako before his face. He says: "Madam I have no money, but I'm of the right breed, true German, an blood Royal." The Princess answers: "I had rather you was English! but a German husband is better than none." Both stand with flexed knees and lowered eyes. Behind Princess Charlotte is a much-festooned window looking on to the sea. Dragons dominate the decorations of the room, and, as in British Museum Satires No. 12754, the Regent's crutches. They support the curtains, a window-seat, and a console-table (right) where a large china mandarin sits with his back reflected in a wall-mirror; below it is a large Chinese jar. Bells dangle from the curtain draperies."--British Museum online catalogue

"Men are fighting with clubs on a wide upper landing and on a flight of stairs (right) which leads to the hall below. Two doors open on to the landing, over one (right) is inscribed 'Freedom of Election'; through the other more men are seen with clubs, advancing to join the fray."--British Museum online catalogue and "During the general election of 1796 the boroughs of Inverkeithing (including also Stirling, Dunfermline, Queensferry, and Culross) were contested by Sir John Henderson of Fordel (the ministerial candidate) and the Hon. Andrew Cochrane Johnstone. The election of a delegate for Dunfermline was of vital importance. To secure this (for Johnstone) a party of Dunfermline councillors were lodged at the inn at Kinghorn, where the Town Clerk, John Hutton, and the hostess of the chief inn, Johanna (or Luckie) Skinner, were expert in managing elections. The inn was assaulted (unsuccessfully) by a body from Dunfermline, including colliers from Fordel (supporters of Henderson). After a series of incidents, arrests, &c, Johnstone was elected (20 June), though the delegate for Dunfermline voted for Sir John because the councillors who had been successfully taken to Kinghorn were under arrest. The election was confirmed on petition (Mar. 1797). The persons depicted include Col. Erskine, the leader of the attacking party, Hutton, and Skinner, and a postilion at the foot of the stairs who did great execution with the spoke of a wheel. 'Collection', No. 212. Kay, No. cccvii."--Dorothy George note
