- Abstract:
- "A canvassing scene in a poor and disreputable district of Westminster, indicated by 'Peter Street' on the corner of the house. The Duchess of Devonshire canvasses a cobbler; she sits supported on Fox's knee, putting one foot on a cobbler's stall that he may do some imaginary repairs, for which she lavishly pays the man's wife, who leans forward, both hands held together to receive coins. The cobbler and his wife are behind a stall protected by a pent-house roof. On this is a notice, 'Shoes made and mended by Bob. Stichitt Cobler to her Grace the Tramping Dutchess NB Dogs Wormd Cats Gelded'. From an open casement window above it a man leans out waving a fox's brush; he holds a tankard and a long clay pipe in his left hand. Beside him a woman holds her head to vomit from the window, her elbows supported on the sill. A dog lies under the cobbler's stall. Fox, his right knee on his hat on the ground, the other supporting the duchess, turns round to give his right hand to a ragged man to whose mouth Sam House holds a tankard, his other hand pressed on the elector's head, who is shown by his long shovel to be a scavenger. Behind, a chimneysweeper with his brushes and his boy with brush and shovel are amused spectators. These figures fill the space to the left of Fox and the duchess. Behind are the irregular gabled roofs and casement windows of old Westminster."--British Museum online catalogue.
