"Fox and North stand in the pillory on a small platform supported on a post above the heads of a circle of spectators. Their heads only are confined; North is in back-view, Fox stands full-face looking to the left, his hands clasped. The spectators are three quarter length; Sam House is conspicuous (left) holding a foaming tankard and saying, "Come Charly here's to the Electors of Westminster one Good Turn deserves another". A woman in back-view holds a basket of eggs on her hip; she says, "Come Who'll buy my Plumpers Two a Penny Plumpers". A man next her (right) is about to throw an egg, saying, "Here goes a Plumper for Charly".--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene outside a posting inn. A man (right) riding right to left clutches his horse round the neck, he has lost his stirrups and his hat flies off. The horse is rearing, startled by the drum and fifes of a recruiting party in Guards' uniform led by an officer with a drawn sword, and followed by three recruits wearing ribbon favours in their hats. The rider is fashionably dressed in riding clothes, a pair of curling tongs falls from his pocket, a box which he was carrying has fallen to the ground, where various articles of the barber's trade have fallen from it: tresses of hair, a packet of "Powder", a comb, razor, &c. In the background is a three-storied inn, with bay-windows on all floors. Spectators watch from the windows. The sign is hung from a standard (right); behind (left) are outhouses inscribed "Licensed to [hire] post horses"; a coach stands in front of them."--British Museum online catalogue
