- Abstract:
- "The Duchess of Devonshire (right) fights Mrs. Hobart (left). The right fist of the Duchess is near her opponent's nose, her left hand is on her hip. Mrs. Hobart, both fists extended, says: "I'll have no more for my Nose Bleeds"; the Duchess answers: "I have not done yet Madam." A backer stands behind each; Fox (right) says, "Well done Georgiana to her again". A hand extends from clouds holding a laurel wreath over his head. Wray, behind Mrs. Hobart, says, "If she Cant Beat her A Scrutiny Shall". A hand from clouds holds a fool's cap over his head on which is a butterfly and an ass's ear. Behind Wray, holding a cane, stands Lord Hood saying, "Alas poor Judas you will lose ye day". The dishevelled hair of the ladies hangs down their backs: Mrs. Hobart, very stout and 'décolletée', the Duchess, slim and wearing a riding-habit with a coat of military cut. She has two Fox favours in her hat, ostrich feathers (see BMSat 6530), and a fox's brush. The other has feathers in her hair and a large favour inscribed 'Hood & Wray'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The piazza of Covent Garden, with the hustings, showing a line of hill in the distance inscribed 'View of Richmond Hill'. In the air, flying towards the hustings, is Mrs. Hobart encased from the waist downwards in a circular balloon to which is attached a hammock-like platform, on which lie two voters, face downwards, looking over the side. The lady, in profile to the left, looking upwards, excessively fat, with uncovered breast, is saying "This may save him"; her petticoats have been transformed into the balloon, her 'last shift'. A blast issues from her posteriors. One of her passengers in profile to the left holds out his hand, saying, "I see the Hustings". The other, facing in the opposite direction, says, "thank God I am an outside Passenger". A flock of birds scatters right to left of the balloon. Wray, kneeling on one knee, and Hood standing behind him (right) look up eagerly to the balloon, holding out their hands. Wrays says, "A foul wind is fair for us"; Hood says, "O come sweet Air Balloon or I must off in one". The hustings under the portico of St. Paul's are freely sketched; gesticulating orators, hat in hand, address the crowd. One of the houses on the right (north) side of the piazza is inscribed 'Lows'; a flag flies from a window."--British Museum online catalogue

Fox drives (right to left) Sir Cecil Wray as a pauper in the county pass-cart to the place of his settlement in Lincolnshire.

Fox says, "I will drive you to Lincoln where you may Superintend the Small beer & brick dust". Wray says, "I always was a poor dog But now I am worse than ever". Hood stands (right) in profile to the left. looking at the cart and saying "Alas poor Wray". A signpost (left) points to Lincoln.

- Abstract:
- "A see-saw representing the state of the poll between Fox and Wray, Mrs. Hobart (left) seated on one end, the Duchess of Devonshire (right) on the other, in front of the polling-booth in Covent Garden. Mrs. Hobart, enormously fat, quite out-weighs the Duchess, and is, moreover, held down by Lord Hood who kneels behind her (left), while Sir Cecil Wray stands beside him watching the contest with an enigmatical expression. Fox stands behind the Duchess trying to hold down her end of the plank, but in vain; his uplifted left arm and closed eyes express the despair which he actually felt in the early days of polling (Russell, 'Corr. of Fox', ii. 267). The ladies face each other astride the plank, their arms outstretched, their bosoms bare. The plank rests on an irregular stone post. An excited crowd, very freely sketched, watches from the hustings and from below them; they scream encouragement to the rivals, waving their hats. Over the head of Wray is a playbill, 'The Rival Candidates Farce'; behind the Duchess is another, 'Duke and no Duke Play'. The former was a comic opera by Henry Bate (afterwards Bate-Dudley), first played 1775, the latter a farce by Tate, 1605."--British Museum online catalogue
