- Abstract:
- "The piazza of Covent Garden, with the hustings, showing a line of hill in the distance inscribed 'View of Richmond Hill'. In the air, flying towards the hustings, is Mrs. Hobart encased from the waist downwards in a circular balloon to which is attached a hammock-like platform, on which lie two voters, face downwards, looking over the side. The lady, in profile to the left, looking upwards, excessively fat, with uncovered breast, is saying "This may save him"; her petticoats have been transformed into the balloon, her 'last shift'. A blast issues from her posteriors. One of her passengers in profile to the left holds out his hand, saying, "I see the Hustings". The other, facing in the opposite direction, says, "thank God I am an outside Passenger". A flock of birds scatters right to left of the balloon. Wray, kneeling on one knee, and Hood standing behind him (right) look up eagerly to the balloon, holding out their hands. Wrays says, "A foul wind is fair for us"; Hood says, "O come sweet Air Balloon or I must off in one". The hustings under the portico of St. Paul's are freely sketched; gesticulating orators, hat in hand, address the crowd. One of the houses on the right (north) side of the piazza is inscribed 'Lows'; a flag flies from a window."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Two dogs, with the heads of Hood and Wray, followed by huntsmen chase a fox (left to right) down a slope inscribed 'Constitution Hill'. In front of the fox (Fox) is a sign-post, one arm pointing (right) 'To Cov. Garden'; two others pointing left are 'To St. James's' and 'To the Gallows': The fox's tail, inscribed 'Patriotism', brushes the eye of Wray, who says, "This is a swinging Brush it smarts D-----y he has Blinded me quite". The fox, turning his head back, snarls: "Ha Ha my old Friend you have Run hard for a little Poxes P-ss. Hood, half a length behind the fox, and in the foreground, says: "Never fear Brother, a little Court Water will soon heal the Smart." Behind Wray floats or flies a witch-like old woman carrying the staff and cap of Liberty; she says, "Hack Forward, good Dogs, Tally O Ho W-y he has worried all my Geese & put my Hen Roost in an Uproar". Her skirt is inscribed, 'Secret Influence'; 'Prerogatives'; 'Addresses', 'Petitions &c.' (For the addresses thanking the king for dismissing the Coalition see BMSat 6445, &c.) Behind her, on the extreme left of the design, appear the head and shoulders of the king wearing his crown; he says, "Tally O Tally O my Brave Chelsea Tally O", alluding to Wray's proposal to abolish Chelsea Hospital, see BMSat 6475, &c. Behind are two shadowy huntsmen; one, mounted, says "Wee'l whip him Down by G - d"; the other blows a horn."--British Museum online catalogue
