"An election procession of thirteen patriots walking from right to left wearing the colours of Sir Watkin Lewes, elected M.P. for the City, 29 Sept. 1781, see British Museum satire no. 5849. Two flags are carried, one "Lewes & Freedom", the other, "No Ministerial Influence", in reference to Lewes' speech on his election on 29 Sept. Two of the men are playing flutes, a third blows a horn. The figures are probably portraits; two are butchers wearing aprons, their steels hanging from their waists; beside one of them walks a muzzled dog with a collar inscribed "Liberty"; this butcher is eating as he walks. One man drinks a glass of wine, holding a lump of food in his left hand. One with a swathed and gouty leg walks on crutches. All have election favours in their hats, these are inscribed respectively "Lewes for ever"; "Sr Watkin for ever"; "Freedom"; "Lewes"; "No Bribery"; "Lewes"; "No Corruption". In the hat of the butcher with the dog is "Freedom's my plan Sr Watkin is the Man". The background is formed by the lower part of the façade of two houses in a street, the front of two shops being indicated. On the pavement (left) four little chimney-sweeps are shouting and waving their hats and brushes."--British Museum online catalogue

"Four persons gazing at the prints displayed in a print-shop closely resembling though not identical with that in British Museum Satire no. 3758 (1774) which is evidently by the same artist. A man and woman (left) in macaroni dress stand together, he holds her left hand smiling, and pointing at one of the prints with his right hand. She turns aside smiling behind her fan. Two men (right) stand in conversation; one (right) points out to the other, who is in back view, both hands held up in astonishment, one of the prints in the top row, apparently that of Wesley. Other prints print of John Bunyan and George Whitefield. A dog befouls the foot of the man facing the shop-window."--British Museum online catalogue
