"Fox is being chaired (left to right) in a high-backed chair wreathed with laurel, according to the custom in Westminster at the close of an election. The three supporters of the chair (three quarter length figures in the foreground) are three ladies, all young and pretty, one of course the Duchess of Devonshire. On the third (left) is inscribed 'Portland Place', probably the Duchess of Portland, possibly Lady Archer, called 'the Portland Place Archer'. The other is probably Lady Duncannon. All three wear hats trimmed with a fox's brush. The foremost lady (right) holds a paper inscribed 'British Constitution'. Beside Fox in his chair is the cap of Liberty on its staff; he holds up a torn paper inscribed 'Rights of England'; in his left hand is a paper inscribed 'Privileges of the People'. A cluster of cherubs' heads beside him, emerging from clouds, is inscribed 'Voice of the People'; the principal cherub blows a trumpet from which issue the words 'Fox & Liberty'. In the background behind the chair (left) is a sea of heads; on the right is Sam House wearing his hat. Beneath the design is etched:'Friends freemen Britons all your strength be tried To quell oppression stem corruptions tide Let shouting plaudits fill resounding air And Fox & virtue set in freedom's chair.'"--British Museum online catalogue
