Two fashionably dressed young women dose on a sofa in a sitting room with wallpapered walls and a rug on the floor. A young man stands behind the sofa and quietly tickles the check of the young woman on the right. The friendship between the two women is illustrated by the long ribbon tied on one of each of their wrists; around their necks, each, too, wears a pendant with miniature portrait of the other. An open book between them on the sofa is titled "The Fair Seducer." An oval mirror hangs on the wall between two windows behind the young man

"The fat and florid Lady Buckinghamshire, seated at the head of her faro-table, throws up her arms in dismay, turning towards her husband, who enters through a door (left), saying, "The Bank's stole! - we're ruin'd my Lady! - but I'll run to Bow Street & fix the Saddle upon the right horse, my Lady!" She exclaims: "The Bank stole, my Lord? - why I secur'd it in the Housekeepers-room myself! - this comes of admitting Jacobins into the house! - Ah! the Cheats! Seven Hundred gone smack; - without a single Cock of the Cards!" She fills the centre of the design, and is much larger than her husband. Her guests are crowded together on the right. A pretty young woman, Mrs. Concannon, seated on her left, clasps her hands, exclaiming, "Bank stole! - why I had a Gold snuffbox stole last night from my Table in Grafton Street." Lady Archer, on the extreme right, on the nearer side of the table, turns a corvine and angry profile towards Lord Buckinghamshire, saying, "Stole! - bless me why a Lady had her Pocket pick'd at my House last Monday." Opposite her sits Fox, wearing a hat and putting his hand over his mouth, saying, "Zounds! I hope they dont Smoke me." Sheridan looks over his shoulder, saying, "nor me". Behind Fox, Hanger stands in profile to the left, wearing a hat and holding his bludgeon; he says: "O! if they come to the Mount, if I don't tip them Shelalee" (see BMSat 8889). ... The door (left) resembles that of a strongroom, with two heavy locks and three bolts."--British Museum online catalogue

"Design in an oval. A travesty of the cameo known as the Marlborough Gem, now in the Museum of Fine Arts at Boston. The figures are light on a dark ground, as in the original. Miss Farren, tall, thin, with butterfly wings, her dress approximating to contemporary fashion, walks (left to right) on Lord Derby's left. He has the wings of Cupid, clipped, and is almost nude, with the fat limbs of a child together with a heavy paunch. He holds a dove, putting its beak to his lips. His scanty hair is in a small tail. Both are veiled. They are preceded by two winged boys, one with the torch of Hymen. A third follows, wearing a fool's cap simulating a cap of Liberty; he holds up an earl's coronet towards the bride, in place of the tray of fruit of the original."--British Museum online catalogue

"Pitt, grotesquely thin and much caricatured, leads Eleanor Eden, a conventionally pretty woman, towards a bower (right) covered with a vine bearing many bunches of grapes interspersed with coronets. Within it are three large sacks inscribed '£'. His left hand is on her back, his right points to the bower. She advances demurely, a fan inscribed 'Treasury' held before her face. A Cupid with a torch flies before them. The Devil, a fat nude creature with webbed wings and the face of Fox, crouches behind the bower (right), impotently gnashing his teeth and clenching his fists. Ribbons with the jewels and star of an order are twined in the bower; more coronets and a star emerge from the ground. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"Fox as a colossal Hercules, hairy and savage, bestrides the English Channel, supporting between the toes of his right foot the flag of 'Libertas'; his left foot is planted near a castle on a cliff flying the Union Jack. He wears a fox's skin over his shoulders, the head forming a cap, with a ragged coat and breeches. His arms and legs are bare; the large brush of his fox's skin almost sweeps the Channel. He flourishes his 'Whig-Club' (cf. BMSat 8996) above his head, saying, "Invade the Country, hay? - let them come, - thats all! - Zounds, where are they? - I wish I could see 'em here, thats all! - ay! ay! only let them come, - that's all!!!" The channel is filled with a fleet of men-of-war with ship's boats in the foreground, all making from France to England, and drawn by strings which Fox holds in his left hand."--British Museum online catalogue
