Four vertical posts marked with figures seem intended to measure the (rapidly decreasing) degree of Publica Fides on which Fox can still count.... Fox is a fat, almost-naked creature, with horns and talons.... An attack on the Coalition ... An illustration of the lines: 'Belial,...the fleshiest Incubus', Paradise Regained..."--British Museum 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
