"A sequel to British Museum satires no. 6438. George III, seated on a balloon, points downwards with his sceptre to an image of Pitt (right) as a naked child, on a column which is inscribed 'Family Presumption'. The king looks down at North, Fox, and Burke, saying, "I command you O Shadrach Mesech & Abednego!" The three stand (left) in attitudes expressing intense self-righteousness; they say: "Know O King we will not worship [the] Golden Image"; on each head rests a tongue of flame. They stand outside a dilapidated building on the extreme left inscribed 'St Stephens', shored up by a beam, whose base is at their feet, inscribed 'Resolutions Unrescinded'. From its coping-stone flies an ensign flag inscribed 'Firm S.P.Q.B.' The king's balloon is inscribed 'Prerogative'; its lower axis emits a blast inscribed 'Gracious Answer'. Behind the balloon and Pitt are clouds inscribed 'Breath of Popularity'. Pitt stands sucking his finger (cf. British Museum satires no. 6417); on his head is a sugar-loaf surmounted by a flag inscribed 'Feby 28', an emblem of the Grocers' Company which had entertained him on that day, see British Museum satires no. 6442. Kneeling figures do obeisance before the image of Pitt, those in the foreground representing the least reputable trades: a lamplighter (left), with his ladder and oil-can, kneels in profile to the right; a butcher prostrates himself; a chimney-sweep kneels with clasped hands; a ragged scavenger, his shovel and basket beside him, kneels in profile to the left, the basket stands on a paper inscribed '[Worshipfu]ll Company of Scavenger[s]'. In the foreground lie papers inscribed 'Garret Address' (an allusion to the mock elections of Garratt), 'Address', and 'The worshipfull Company of Chimney Sweepers'. A crowd of kneeling figures (left) is worshipping the idol; they hold standards, three of which are inscribed 'Bristol', 'Westminster', and 'London', representing the addresses to the king which had been compared by Fox to those made to Charles II, see British Museum Satires no. 6438, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

Charles Fox, with a fox's body, speaks to his supporters, shown as geese with human heads who crowd the windows of the King's Arms Tavern and the street below. At the top of the building, Fox's arms are supported by Burke and Lord North, each with a fox's body. Among the geese are the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Robinson in the upper right window, Sam House, shouting, "Huzza," in the bottom central window, and Jeffery Dunstan, the popular 'mayor of Garrett,' standing on the roof of a coach driven by the Earl of Surrey who stands on its box. The coach and its procession converge with a procession led by a goose carrying a standard with Cromwell's portrait signed, "Fox for ever," and the Cap of Liberty on its pole

"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
