"Satire on the general election of 1722 showing a grand room with two long windows and a pier glass between; to the left of this is a screen with seven folds. On the right three men, one holding a staff of office, can be discerned behind the screen reflected in the glass. From the left side of the screen an electoral candidate walks towards a voter grasping him by his right hand and with his left slipping a purse into the man's pocket. The voter is identified in the verses as a member of a corporation in a borough where only such members could vote; his leg is shackled by a chain. His wife listens to a clergyman who stands in a doorway assuring her "bribery no sin". The devil hovers over the candidate touching the voter on the shoulder and holding a blank scroll. Two boys in the foreground point to the transaction, one holding a wooden shoe, symbol of the oppressive French regime. The screen itself is adorned with little stars, at the top the years 1715-1722 are marked on the seven folds and the names of various acts passed by the previous government, "Quarantine Act .../South Sea Act/Act to indemnify S.S. V[illai]ns/Part of ye Succession Act repeal'd/Septennial Act".--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on Robert Walpole and his continuing influence on government after his fall from power. A large folding screen in the centre stands open showing events from Walpole's career: the South Sea Bubble, the treaties of Hanover and Seville, the "Bank contract" of 1720, Admiral Hosier's expedition to Cartagena, the Excise Scheme (depicted as BM Satires 1918), the War of Jenkins' Ear, the Convention of the Pardo, the English ships held in the port of San Sebastian in 1740 (see BM Satires 2418 and 2440), and a general reference to "Bribery, &c.". A mirror on the left reveal that Walpole is standing behind the screen pulling strings that operate members of parliament assembled in the chamber shown below. Above the screen is a separate scene showing the reconciliation between George II and Frederick, Prince of Wales, early in 1742. To the right stands the Duke of Argyll in Garter robes resting against a lectern and pointing to Wapole's misdeeds as portrayed on the screen; above Argyll's head hangs a picture of Diogenes holding his lamp and a portrait of the "honest man" he sought; beside Argyll is lettered, "Glorious and Brave to shake Corruption's Seat, But much more Glorious is thy brave Retreat". Two columns of letterpress verse below warn "William", i.e. Pulteney, that Walpole continues to influence governement."
