"Lady Archer (left) and Lady Buckinghamshire (right) stand in the pillory as in BMSat 8876, their heads turned in profile towards each other. Lady Archer wears a feathered hat, riding-habit, and boots (cf. BMSat 7973, &c.); Lady Buckinghamshire wears feathers in her hair, her broad breast is immodestly bare, her face is patched. She stands on tip-toe on the top of her Faro 'Bank Box'. The shadow beneath the edge of the platform forms the base of the design; in front of it stands Lord Kenyon, half length, in wig and gown, ringing a hand-bell inscribed 'K' and shouting; he holds a large scroll: "Oh Yes - Oh Yes - this is to give notice that several silly Women in the Parish of St Giles, St James & St Georges [see BMSat 8880], have caus'd much Distress & uneasiness in Family by Keeping bad Houses late hours, & by Shuffling & cutting have Obtain'd divers valuabl Articles - Whoever will bring before me -""--British Museum online catalogue

"Four men stand in the pillory, in pairs. The arrangement is not that of the actual pillory: they stand on a cross-bar which connects two high posts, one at each side of the design, each of which supports a board, through the holes in which are thrust the heads and hands of two victims. The cross-bar is much above the level of the ground. In the centre of the design, below the cross-bar, is inset the head of Fox in an oval, on a much larger scale than the figures; he has an expression of scowling perplexity, The men in the pillory say (left to right), "I am only vexed I was not Paid before I swore"; "Little did I think of this &, Dam such pay as this"; "They Promise to keep me from Danger"; and, "Dam her Gr------e she brought me to this." Beneath the design is engraved:'These little Villains must submit to fate That great ones may enjoy the World, in State."--British Museum online catalogue
