- Abstract:
- "The interior of the shop of an apothecary or quack medicine vendor. Three persons have entered (left): the Duchess of Devonshire stands full-face offering the apothecary (right) a purse, while she holds out her right hand to Fox who stands beside and slightly behind her. She says, "His Tail restore, You shall have more". The apothecary, standing in profile to the left, takes the purse saying, "My Famous Pills cure many Ills". He is well dressed and wears a doctor's tie-wig. Fox puts his left hand to his forehead with a distressed expression; under his foot is a paper inscribed 'Dr Leakes Antivanerial Drops'. A lady standing behind Fox, her hands in a muff, says, "Oh poor Fox will Loose fits tail". Behind the apothecary is the shop-window with a counter in front of it. On the counter are two small phials, each labelled Mr Fox, and a pill-box, besides glass jars. In the window are displayed glass bottles of various shapes filled with coloured liquids. (Advertisements of Dr. Leake's pills and drops were frequent in the newspapers and were posted as bills, cf. BMSat 6540.) The duchess wears a 'Fox' favour in her hat which is trimmed with a fox's brush and three ostrich feathers, worn as an emblem of the interest taken by the Prince of Wales in the election. 'Westminster Election', p. 327. Her companion wears a fox's brush in her hat.."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state

- Abstract:
- "Naval mutineers, seated and standing at a long table, glare ferociously at Admiral Buckner, who stands (left) calmly, hat in hand, in profile to the right at the foot of the table. The man at the head of the table, seated in a chair which is higher than the others, holds a blunderbuss and wears a hat. He must be Richard Parker, but does not resemble him. At his elbow and on the extreme right stands Thelwall filling a glass from a 'Grog' can; he says "Tell him we intend to be Masters, I'll read him a Lecture"; from his pocket hangs a paper: 'Thellwals Lecture' (see British Museum Satires No. 8685). One man only is seated on the president's left and on the near side of the table. He places a fist on a long paper headed 'Resolutions'. Under the table in the foreground, lifting up the tablecloth, five secret instigators are (left to right): Lauderdale, holding a paper: 'Letter from Sheerness to Ld L------le'; Horne Tooke, Stanhope, Grey, Fox, the most prominent, saying, "Aye, Aye, we are at the bottom of it", and Sheridan. All have satisfied smiles. Four ruffians are seated at the farther side of the table, others stand behind them; one aims a pistol over the admiral's head, one man smokes, another chews tobacco, taking a quid from his box. Weapons lie on the table. On the wall behind them are a print of Britannia head downwards, and two torn ballads: 'True Blue an old Song' and 'Hearts of Oak are our Ships Jolly Tars are our men We alway are Ready', the last word scored through. On the right the slanting window of the captain's cabin is indicated."--British Museum online catalogue
