- Abstract:
- "Fox, followed by Burke and Sheridan, hastily leaves a vaulted archway from which issue smoke and flames. George Hanger (left) runs in front, holding a burning firebrand; behind him is the White Tower in flames. Fox carries the crown which he partly conceals under his voluminous coat. Burke, dressed as a Jesuit (cf. BMSat 6026), holds the sceptre; he looks with satisfaction at Sheridan, who takes his arm. Sheridan holds the orb; in his hat is an election favour inscribed 'Townsend'. Hanger wears a cocked hat with an election favour, his military coat and tight breeches are in rags; under his arm is a sack labelled 'Unmill'd Coin'. Torn bills pasted on the wall behind Fox's head are inscribed 'the Westminster Election; for the Interest of Lord J. Townsd', and 'Leak's Pills'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Fox as Falstaff, enormously fat, with a pleased smile, stands declaiming: "The Laws of England are at my commandment. Happy are they which have been my friends; & woe to my Lord Chanr." On the right stands Hanger as Pistol, in a swaggering attitude, legs astride, left hand on his bludgeon (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6924), right on his hip. He is in Elizabethan dress, but wears an enormous cocked hat and a large sabre. He says: "Sir John, thy under lambkin now is King Harry the fifth's the man. I speak the truth. When Pistol lies, do thus; and fig me, like the bragging Spaniard." On the left, clasping his hands ecstatically, stands Sheridan as Bardolph, his face bloated with drink. He says, "O joyful day! - I would not take a Knighthood for my fortune." Between and behind Sheridan and Fox stands 'Shallow' (Duke of Norfolk), rather disconsolate, saying, "Sir John, I hope you'll pay me back my Thousand Pounds." In the background is the colonnade of Carlton House, and (left) the back of Fox's travelling-carriage, inscribed, 'From Bologna'. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A scene representing the hustings at the Westminster election. Fox (right) stealthily enters a door leading to the side of the hustings, carrying on his shoulder a sack from holes in which guineas and a Garter jewel are issuing. On the left, on the hustings, Townshend stands between two supporters, resting an elbow on the shoulder of each: one (left) is a chimney-sweep, waving his brush, his shovel is inscribed 'Townsend'; the other is a butcher, waving his hat. Behind, the profile heads of Burke (left) and Hanger (right) face each other. A crowd is indicated at the back of the hustings, and a large banner inscribed 'Noble Townsend' is conspicuous. In front of Townshend is a poll-clerk who offers a Testament to a Jew who stands outside the hustings about to take the 'bribery oath'. Over his shoulders hangs a pair of breeches, under his arm is a hat inscribed 'Townsend'. On the door through which Fox enters is a placard: 'Liberty & Property Secured'. Fox looks with a sly smile at Townshend and his supporters; from his pocket protrudes a document inscribed 'Ways & Means'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Burke (centre) and Fox (right) raise above their heads cleavers and marrow-bones with which they appear about to smite a woman and child who have fallen to the ground. A man stoops, stretching out his hands in an attempt to protect them. George Hanger (left) stands holding up his cleaver in both hands, leaving no doubt that his intention is to strike. The attitude of Burke and Fox, though threatening, may indicate a vigorous performance of the traditional election music of the butchers
