"No. 12, a bagman or commercial traveller, a foppish 'cit' in riding-dress, holds out his book of patterns with a flourish to a stolid country draper (left), saying: "Fine Choice of Patterns Sir all the Rage in Town I hope you will give me an Order." The shopkeeper answers : "Yes I'll give thee an Order and that is to March out of my Shop for I dont like the looks O'thee". A counter with a shopman (right) rolling up material, bales of cloth on shelves, and two dogs, complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Sheridan, a candle in each hand, shambles before the royal party, ushering them through the theatre and looking over his shoulder with an expression of exasperated anxiety. The King, in back view, turns to the Queen, saying, "I like the Author very much - took him for a Jacobin - no such thing - quite a different man - brim full of loyalty - I'll certainly come again!!" Behind the pair Salisbury, the Lord Chamberlain, walks stiffly, holding his staff and wearing his gold key. He is followed by one of the Princesses (Augusta Sophia), walking with the Prince of Orange, whose portly contour and sulky profile with closed eye appear on the extreme left. Through the door (probably that from the box lobby) Fox is seen holding a constable's staff and saying to the crowd, anxious to see the arrival: "Stand away there, don't stop up the passage you pack of Jacobin Rascals"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Jones stands in the House of Commons, directed to the left, staring fixedly, right arm raised, snapping his fingers, left hand in the pocket of his long waistcoat, legs apart. He is corpulent, bald except for his queue, but with bushy whiskers. Behind him are three tiers of empty benches; his large round hat is on the bench beside him. His plain long coat with half-boots denotes the country gentleman. His speech is etched across the upper part of the design: 'Im an Independent Man, Sir, - & I don't care That! who hears me say so! - I dont like Wooden Shoes! no Sir, neither French Wooden Shoes, no nor English Wooden shoes, neither! - and as to the tall Gentleman over the way [Sheridan], I can tell him, that I'm no Pizarro! [see BMSat 9396, &c] - I'll not hold up the Devil's Tail to fish for a Place, or a Pension!! - I'm no skulker! - no, nor no Seceder neither! [see BMSat 9018, &c] I'll not keep out of the way, for fear of being told my own! - Here's my Place, & Here I ought to speak! - I warrant I'll not sneak into Taverns to drink humbug-Toasts that I am afraid to explain, not I! [see BMSats 9168, 9205, &c] - my motto is, "Independence & Old England" - and That! for all the rest of the World! there; That! - That! - That! - That! - That!'"--British Museum online catalogue
