- Abstract:
- "Gaetan Vestris (right) giving a dancing lesson to a gigantic goose with a human head and long pigtail queue. They face each other in profile. Vestris stands with his legs together, chest thrown out, his arms curved. "Regardez-moi" was his characteristic admonition. On a stool behind the goose is an open book inscribed "Electrical E. E. L."; on the ground at its feet is another inscribed "The Torpedo. Dedicated to Ld------C------. My Lord, I take the Liberty------ The greatness of whose Parts are known. . ." . This indicates that the goose is Lord Cholmondeley (1749-1827), "The Torpedo, a Poem to the Electrical Eel addressed to Mr John Hunter Surgeon" and "Dedicated to . . . Lord Cholmondeley," 4th ed. 1777, was a coarse and scurrilous poem, three lines of which are, "What tho' Lord Ch--lm--d--ly may conceal A most enormous length of Eel Admir'd for Size and bone:"In the wall which forms the background are two sash-windows and a door (left) round which a grinning youth, probably a servant, is looking. On the wall are half length portraits: three in ovals of elderly ladies in profile, one of a clergyman, full-face, wearing a biretta, his left hand on a book. There is also a picture of Fox, with a fox's head, seated opposite Cholmondeley; they are throwing dice. Fox appears satisfied, the other clenches his fist and exclaims in anger. A devil is climbing on the top of the frame and holds out a claw to grab the head of Fox. On the picture are the words "A Nick by God". Like Fox, see BMSat 5972, Cholmondeley held a faro bank at Brooks's. G.E.C., 'Complete Peerage'."-- British Museum online catalogue.

- 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.
