- Abstract
-
A burlesque coat of arms of the city of Preston, evidently relating to a contested election of that city's parliamentary representative, probably John Burgoyne. A mayor with staff of office is on the left and a woman holding a chamber pot on the right. She stands behind an older horned man (a cuckold). The central escutcheon depicts a lamb, with Folly in a fools-cap as the crest
