- Abstract:
- "North and Fox as supporters of the Coalition Arms (cf. BMSat 6369 (5)), which rest on the prostrate body of the king, on whom North rests his left foot and Fox his right. North stands (left) dexter, holding in his right hand a flag on which are two demons and the word 'Coalition'; the staff is surmounted with a skull; in his left is a small flag with thirteen oblique stripes, an allusion to the loss of the Colonies, which forms part of the first quarter of the arms. Fox holds a ragged cap of Liberty on its staff; his right hand, resting on the escutcheon, holds a small axe which forms part of the second quarter of the arms. The crest is formed of the heads of North and Fox back to back, in profile, right; from their mouths comes a ribbon with the word 'Faction'. The motto which supports the figures of Fox, North, and I the king, is 'Neck or Nothing'. Beneath the plate is a printed explanation of the Coalition Arms: 'Lately granted by a new College of Arms to two Illustrious Persons for their numerous and distinguished Virtus "Go and do thou likewise". They are thus emblazoned: First Quarter. A Standard with the Thirteen Stripes of the American States; Base, Edmund St Omer's [Burke], like a skilful Dentist, drawing the Teeth of a Lion. Second. Quarterly, First and Fourth, Implements of Gambling; Sinister Chief, a declining Axe; Dexter base, the head of Charles, Martyr; Fesse Point Arms of H--ll--d [Holland, the arms of Fox, cf. BMSat 6423]. Third. A Gallows, Two Halters charged Proper. Fourth. Britannia Renversed. Crest. Janus, with the motto Faction. Supporters. Dexter, the Promoter of Independence with the Flag of Coalition. Sinister; the Man of the People, with a Liberty Cap worn Threadbare; both Supporters trampling on an injured------[King] who is extricating Himself from their Oppression.' The arms are as described: Burke (half length) applies a pair of forceps to the teeth of a lion, seated passively. Above them is a paper inscribed 'Reform Bill' (cf. BMSat 5645, &c). The implements of gambling are dice-box, dice, and cards. From the gallows hang a fox (left) and North (right). Britannia, seated head downwards, holds out an olive-branch, emblematical of the peace and the loss of America."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- The shield of the Coalition Arms rests on the prostrate figure of the King who tries to free himself from his burden. His efforts are resisted by two supporters of the shield, Lord North (dexter) and Charles Fox (sinister) who each press him down with a foot. North holds a flag with two dancing devils and sign "Coalition," and a small flag with thirteen stripes. Fox holds a stick with a tattered liberty cap on its top. The shield is divided into four quarters. In the first one, Burke, standing under the sign, "Reform bill," pulls a lion's teeth. In the second, the "implements of gambling" are combined with an axe and the head of "Charles Martyr" [i.e., Charles I]. In the third, Fox, shown as a fox, and North, hang from a gallows. In the fourth, a seated figure of Britannia with an olive branch is drawn upside down. The whole is supported by a motto, "Neck or nothing."

- Abstract:
- "The Duchess of Devonshire, carrying Fox on her back, approaches an alehouse. The host, a black man named 'Mungo', stands on his doorstep delightedly filling a glass for the Duchess; a fat disreputable slattern stands behind him. The Duchess, who supports herself by a large staff, holds a full purse in her hand, saying, "For the good of the Constitution give me a Glass of Gin", the suggestion being that she will pay a large sum for the gin to secure a vote (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6548). Her hat with ostrich plumes and fox's brush has a favour inscribed 'Fox ForNi'. Fox, one hand resting on her shoulder, waves his hat; they are both in profile to the right. Over the doorway of the alehouse (or perhaps brothel) is inscribed 'Mungo's Hotel Dealer in British Spirits'; the woman says, "Give the poor Man a Vote my Dear he is a good Man for the Ladies". A dog beside her barks at the visitors. The gabled roofs and casement windows indicated in the background suggest that this is an old and disreputable part of Westminster, resembling Peter Street as in British Museum Satires No. 6548. The crowd, which is very freely sketched, also suggests a low neighbourhood; a man and woman walk or dance along, their arms round each other's shoulders; he flourishes a full tankard. An excited group shout and wave their hats round two tall standards: one, 'Fox and Liberty all over the world', above two crossed executioner's axes, the other, 'Rights of the Commons' and 'No Prerogative', with a cap of Liberty on the pole."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- At the top of a ladder placed against the House of Commons and inscribed, "back stairs," stands a female figure of Folly in a fool's cap, with a flag signed "aristocracy." Below her, a man attempts to pull down a stone from the frieze with a grappling hook. Behind him, a smiling Pitt with one foot on a rung, "new mi[nister]," encourages his supporters to follow. Next climbs Lord Temple carrying a conspirator's lantern and a flag, "omnipot[ent] anarc[hy]." Under the ladder, others demolish the wall. On the left, Lord North and Charles Fox try to support the loosened "SPQB" frieze with a beam inscribed, "constitutional advice." An indignant-looking female figure of Wisdom advises Pitt and his followers to reconsider their action."
