"Sir Cecil Wray (left) is being drummed away from the hustings; Sam House, the central figure, beats a drum, looking at Wray. On the right, ignoring Wray, stands Fox addressing the populace, a cheering crowd behind him; he holds a flag on which is the figure of Britannia seated, holding the staff and cap of Liberty, and the words 'Champion of the People'. He says, "Friends & Fellow Citizens I cannot find words to express my feelings to you upon this Victory". Wray walks beside a procession which marches to Sam House's drum. It is headed by Chelsea pensioners with wooden legs, who scowl at him; one carries a crutch over his shoulder. They have two flags, inscribed respectively 'May all public Deserters feel public Resentment' (Wray had deserted the cause of Fox who nominated him for Westminster in 1782, see British Museum Satires No. 5998), and 'Chealsea Hospital'. They are followed by a detachment of maidservants, with a flag inscribed 'Tax on Maid Servants'; they carry over their shoulders a broom, a brush, a mop, a shovel. A crowd cheers frantically, hats are waved at the procession and at Fox. Behind Fox is part of the portico of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, the scene of his triumph at the hustings, see British Museum Satires No. 6590, &c."--British Museum online catalogue.

John Bull lies on his back in bed, his mouth gaping; Pitt, a goblin creature, sits on his chest in profile to the right, holding above his upturned head a loaf inscribed '13 Pence'. Pitt has a huge head, much caricatured, with starting eyeballs; his hair stands up and the bag of his queue, inscribed 'Taxes', flies out behind him. Through a casement window (left) looks a fantastic French republican, with bulging eyeballs and fang-like teeth, glaring at John Bull; from his neck hangs the model of a guillotine. Behind his head is a waning moon. Beside him are the words: 'Republic War and Famine for Ever.' Beneath the bed is a chamber-pot inscribed 'John Bull'; beside it is a chair on which stands a candle.

"A design divided into two portions by a vertical line and a slanting line which diverges to the right from the vertical line forming with it an obtuse angle. On the left of this division are the Speaker and three members of the House of Commons; on the right the Chancellor and three peers. Only a small part of the Speaker and his chair are visible on the extreme left. Fox stands facing him, his right hand extended, his left on his hip, a scroll inscribed 'Consuetudo et Lex Parliamenti' issues from his mouth. Burke stands with his back to Fox, scowling with folded arms; his scroll is inscribed 'Tropes Figures and a long Speech'. Sheridan stands in back view, facing Burke and bending forward, his scroll is 'Speech all Point'. The figures on the right have similar attitudes to those on the left, only the extreme left of the Chancellor and Woolsack being visible. Loughborough, in back view, wearing a judge's wig and gown, says "Lex Parliamenti"; Stormont says "Long Speech". Lord Derby, turning to the right in a mincing attitude, says, "Point de tout". Beneath the titles is etched: 'Each Patriots Speech another Speech affords The C . . . . ns have their Echo in the left . . . ds Thus Opposition proves the Assertion true That even Shadows have their Shadows too'"--British Museum online catalogue.
