Abstract:: "A design in two compartments, each based on one of the familiar 'Cries of London': In 'Le--Gagne--Petit' (left) Fox is a knife-grinder busily sharpening a headsman's axe. Arranged along his barrow are four knives of various shapes inscribed respectively 'Enquiry', 'inversion', 'sarcasm' (with a notched blade), 'incrementum'. A horn attached to the barrow is inscribed 'Fluidity', a box 'Collective Ideas'. In the background (left) is the gateway of St. James's Palace with two sentries. Behind Fox (right) is the house at the SW. corner of 'St James's St'. He wears a cap and a waistcoat showing a ragged shirtsleeve. Beneath the design is engraved: 'To be Sirs Ingenious I'll tell you my Mind 'tis for What I can get Makes me Willing to Grind.' [2] 'Poisson-Salé'. Burke walks (left to right) along Pall Mall carrying bundles of stock-fish on a pole across his shoulder; he bends forward supporting himself with a stout stick. His only garment, except hat and short wig showing his own hair, is a coat worn back to front, his legs being bare. On a wall behind him (left) are two play-bills: 'Much-Ado about Nothing Principle Performer Mr B------e with The Fathless Irishman', and 'Impeachment of Warren Hastings a Farce, as performed by the Tools of Faction St Stephens Chaple'. Beneath the design is engraved: 'Salt Fish ho 'tis I Who late Amused you all by Crying Hastings.'"--British Museum online catalogue
