Mason, the duke's confectioner, disposing of the trinkets [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[21 July 1788]eng"A scene representing the hustings at the Westminster election. Fox (right) stealthily enters a door leading to the side of the hustings, carrying on his shoulder a sack from holes in which guineas and a Garter jewel are issuing. On the left, on the hustings, Townshend stands between two supporters, resting an elbow on the shoulder of each: one (left) is a chimney-sweep, waving his brush, his shovel is inscribed 'Townsend'; the other is a butcher, waving his hat. Behind, the profile heads of Burke (left) and Hanger (right) face each other. A crowd is indicated at the back of the hustings, and a large banner inscribed 'Noble Townsend' is conspicuous. In front of Townshend is a poll-clerk who offers a Testament to a Jew who stands outside the hustings about to take the 'bribery oath'. Over his shoulders hangs a pair of breeches, under his arm is a hat inscribed 'Townsend'. On the door through which Fox enters is a placard: 'Liberty & Property Secured'. Fox looks with a sly smile at Townshend and his supporters; from his pocket protrudes a document inscribed 'Ways & Means'."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Attributed to Gillray in the British Museum catalogue.Reissue with altered price, from 5 s. to 1 s.Following imprint: Price 1 s.1 print : aquatint & etching on laid paper ; plate mark 24.9 x 35.4 cm, on sheet 27.5 x 39.7 cm.Mounted on leaf 44 of volume 2 of 12.
