"A street scene, in which a stage coach drawn by six horses and laden with passengers inside and out is being driven at full speed from r. to left. They drive past a posting-inn, with an open gateway over which, as a sign, is a head of Wilkes in an oval; beneath it are the words "John Wilkes Esqr. Neat Post Chaises". To the postilion on the near leader is attached a label inscribed "Galloping Liberty". The coach-door is inscribed "For the Corrupted Boroughs". Five passengers (ministerialist candidates) sit inside the coach, fashionably dressed. On the roof sit four men, two flourish clubs; one says: "May the Patriots ride uppermost". The large boot or basket attached to the back of the coach holds six passengers; it is inscribed: "We are honest though poor, or who would be golted [sic] thus for his Country!" The coachman turns round to the passengers saying: "I will not overset Ye, if Ye dont overset Yourselves". On the ground are papers inscribed: "Generall Warrants" (see BMSat 4065); "Boston Port Bill" (see BMSat 5226); "Quebec" (see BMSat 5228, &c); "Inclosures. Bystanders" (l. to right.) point and jeer at the coach: A ragged man (1.) sitting on the ground with two wooden legs, one of which is broken off, says: "Ah, rot such Members, my Members are better!" A ragged woman with two children says: "You have Starved me, and my Children". A seated man points at the papers on the ground saying: "What a litter they have left behind them". A man (r.) says to his companion: "There they go, & the D------l go with them"."--British Museum online catalogue
