- Abstract:
- "Fox seated on an ass takes leave of two ladies, one on each side of the ass, holding a hand of each. From under his saddle protrudes his India Bill. On his left stands the Duchess of Devonshire (right) holding out to him a fox's brush. She says: "Farewell my Charley - let no fears assail. For Sure no Fox had e'er so fine a Tail." Fox answers, looking down at her: "If that a Scrutiny at last takes place I can't tell how 'twill be & please your grace But Ladies for your Friendship & good will My Bushy Tail is at your service still." Lady Duncannon, holding Fox's right hand, looks across at the Duchess saying: "Ah! Sister, Sister, must he then depart To loose poor Reynard: almost breaks my heart." They stand outside a house; three ostrich feathers over the door (right) indicate Carlton House. From a window the Prince of Wales looks at the group below. On the extreme left and facing Fox, stands Burke in profile to the right as a post-boy in jack-boots, and holding a whip; under his arm is his 'Plan of economy' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 5657). A signpost points (left) 'To Coventry'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A scene in Carlton House. The Prince of Wales, seated in a chair, holds a stout, good-looking lady (Mrs. Sawbridge) across his knees and chastises her with upraised hand; she holds out her arms imploringly. Alderman Sawbridge (right) faces her in profile to the left, playing a fiddle and dancing; from his pocket hangs a piece of music inscribed 'The Reform', a new Motion. On the extreme left Lady Archer stands in profile to the right, holding a driving-whip, and pointing angrily at the injured lady. A little girl (Sawbridge) stands full-face, clasping her hands in horror at the treatment of her mother. Behind are a number of onlookers: a very fat lady in profile to the left is Miss Vanneck. Mrs. Fitzherbert watches, not displeased; Fox, his arm round her shoulder, gazes amorously at her. George Hanger stands in profile to the left. The other figures are less characterized but a profile head (right) resembles Lord Derby. On the wall (right) is part of a three quarter length portrait, the head cut off by the upper edge of the design, inscribed 'Sir G° Van-Ne[ck]'. Beside it is a stag's head on which hangs a man's hat, just above Sawbridge. After the title is etched 'A Hint for a new Reform'. 'Black Jack' is Sawbridge, who was swarthy, and a consistent advocate of Parliamentary Reform. In the background (right) are persons dancing."--British Museum online catalogue
