"Fox and Sheridan officiate at the wedding of Lady Lucy Stanhope and an apothecary who is made up of medical implements. The bride is a pretty girl wearing a feathered hat from which a transparent veil falls over her face. Stanhope (left), without breeches, and wearing a bonnet-rouge, stooping in profile to the right, pushes her towards the bridegroom who is placing a ring on her finger; from his coat-pocket protrudes a three-masted vessel flying a tricolour flag (see BMSat 8640). The bridegroom, Taylor, is also a sansculotte; his posteriors are formed of a syringe, his body is a mortar, from which issues a pestle supporting a bonnet-rouge. His arm is made of two medicine-phials. Fox stands full-face behind the altar balustrade holding open Paine's 'Rights of Man' (see BMSat 7867, &c). He wears surplice and bands. Sheridan stands (right) in profile to the left, reading from 'Thelwal's Lectures' (cf. BMSat 8685), he wears a lay coat with bands; both wear bonnets-rouges. On the wall which forms a background, and immediately above Fox, is a large picture, 'Shrine of Equality': three men wearing bonnets-rouges officiate at a guillotine; the blade is about to fall on a man wearing a ducal coronet; other peers stand (right) waiting their turn. On the ground by the guillotine lie coronets which have just been chopped off."--British Museum online catalogue

"Three busts on pedestals under two pictures: Fox, very lifelike, without inscription, between 'Demosthenes against Æschines' (left) and 'Cicero against Cataline' (right), both of whom look straight before them, frowning severely, as if outraged at their new companion. Above Demosthenes is 'Justice': a picture of Catherine II, raising a dagger to stab to the heart the Sultan, who lies on his back, his sabre and a bag of '16000000 Roubles' beside him. On the right is 'Moderation': the Empress in back view stands facing a wall-map of 'Moldavia Bessarabia Wallachia' over which she stretches her stout arms with widespread greedy fingers. Between the pictures and above Fox is a circle surmounted by an imperial crown and inscribed 'Conjugal Love A Cure for the Haemerroidical Cholic'. It encloses a noose of rope, and another rightope is looped round the exterior of the circle, indicating Catherine's complicity in the murder of her husband Peter III (cf.
