On Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, Fox is shown walking arm-in-arm with the Duchess of Devonshire left to right. Her petticoats are being blown up to the knee by a blast from the mouth of North, whose head emerges from clouds in the upper left corner of the design. She says, "The Favourable assistance of Boras is very gratefull when heated, by the fateigues of Canvasing". Fox dances along with a slyly jovial expression, holding up in his left hand a purse labelled 'Fresh Supplies'; he says, 'Charly loves to kiss & play as sweet as Sugar Candy'. The Duchess wears a hat trimmed with a large 'Fox' favour, three ostrich feathers and a fox's brush. From her left leg hangs the ribbon of a garter inscribed 'Fox'. Immediately behind the Duchess is Burke on hands and knees peering under her petticoats; he says, "Heavens how happily the principels of the Sublime & Butiful are blended". Behind him walk together two rough fellows (left), one a butcher, who turns grinning to his companion and points to the Duchess's legs and saying, "I thought we ware all to avoid a Scrutany if Possible". Across the front of his cap is the word 'Fox'. The other answers, "So we are, for except in this instance Dam me if I think we are able to bare one". On the extreme right a grinning youth plays a fiddle to which Fox dances; he sings, "Charly loves good Cakes & ale Charly loves good Brandy

Abstract:
"The title indicates the three figures in the design. A young woman, elegantly dressed, with a long round neck, looks down through an eyeglass at a fat butcher, spherical in contour, who gazes up with an admiring smile. Behind him (right) his wife sits primly on a chair, watching her husband with a sour and menacing expression. All are in front of the butcher's shop. Over the door, where a carcass hangs behind the seated woman: 'Roger Gibbs But[cher]'. A bull-dog lies in the foreground intently watching the younger lady; his collar is inscribed 'Gibbs'. Joints of meat hang in the open shop-front, with a butcher's block in front of it. The lower parts of two casement windows suggest a modest establishment as does a bunch of hearts, &c., hanging from a nail."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Satire on the duel between Horatio Walpole and William Richard Chetwynd showing the point where they are separated by a clerk. Walpole, on the right, accuses his opponent, "Would you not have hang'd my Brother at ye door of ye House", to which Chetwynd, falling back, his wig and hat slipping off, replies, "Yes by G[o]d & I had another Vote for You". On the left stands gowned gentleman in full-bottom wig, crying "Hold! Hold! I'll give you a dinner & make it up" (this man is identified by Stephens as Lord Hardwicke, but may well be intended for Speaker Onslow).

Abstract:
"Napoleon, scarcely caricatured, stands in the centre of the design, pointing with left forefinger to a pile of cannon-balls in the right foreground inscribed 'Forse, meat Balls for the Lads of Paris'. Just behind him, and emerging from clouds, stand the Devil (left) and Death (right), directing his actions. Napoleon is flanked by two much taller supporters: an Italian brigand holding up a pole inscribed 'Plunder' to which a limp purse is tied, and with a pistol in his left hand. On the right is a savage dishevelled butcher, holding up a knife, with a noose in the right hand. Both wear belted tunics. These three are identified by an inscription below the design: 'Capt of Starved Banditty from the Alps, Ad Camp,, The Aghast Emperor & his two Friends & Pillars of the State,, Butcher from Elba. Generalissimo'. All are dominated by a larger figure, emerging from clouds above Napoleon's head, which has a scaly body and streaming hair, styled 'Deamon of War Presideing over the Tyrant'. His extended right hand points to the words 'Boundless Ambition' in large letters on a background of fire and lightning of which he is the centre. In his left hand is the shaft of a pennant inscribed: 'We, Come, to Redres:s Grievances'. Dark clouds and lightning extend left and right over ranks of soldiers in the middle distance who watch Napoleon. Those on the right are a ragged, dilapidated, and motley crew, some with pitchforks; they shout "Vive la Empre . . . [sic]" and "Vive la Boun. . . ." Those on the left are perhaps intended for National Guards (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12531)."--British Museum online catalogue
