Abstract:
"The interior of the shop of an apothecary or quack medicine vendor. Three persons have entered (left): the Duchess of Devonshire stands full-face offering the apothecary (right) a purse, while she holds out her right hand to Fox who stands beside and slightly behind her. She says, "His Tail restore, You shall have more". The apothecary, standing in profile to the left, takes the purse saying, "My Famous Pills cure many Ills". He is well dressed and wears a doctor's tie-wig. Fox puts his left hand to his forehead with a distressed expression; under his foot is a paper inscribed 'Dr Leakes Antivanerial Drops'. A lady standing behind Fox, her hands in a muff, says, "Oh poor Fox will Loose fits tail". Behind the apothecary is the shop-window with a counter in front of it. On the counter are two small phials, each labelled Mr Fox, and a pill-box, besides glass jars. In the window are displayed glass bottles of various shapes filled with coloured liquids. (Advertisements of Dr. Leake's pills and drops were frequent in the newspapers and were posted as bills, cf. BMSat 6540.) The duchess wears a 'Fox' favour in her hat which is trimmed with a fox's brush and three ostrich feathers, worn as an emblem of the interest taken by the Prince of Wales in the election. 'Westminster Election', p. 327. Her companion wears a fox's brush in her hat.."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state

"The Duchess of Devonshire about to kiss a short fat butcher; one arm is round his neck, her right hand under his apron. She says, "I'll leave no Stone unturned to serve the Cause"; he answers, "Then you shall have my Plumper - but what says your Calf - mayhap, he's Jealous". She wears a hat trimmed with a 'Fox' favour and four fox's brushes inscribed respectively, 'Fox', 'Fox', 'Love', and 'Liberty'. Her skirt is festooned up with Fox favours and brushes inscribed 'Fox', showing her legs. A little chimney-sweeper lies on the ground looking under her petticoats and saying, "Sweep, sweep". A dog sniffs at her leg. The butcher has stuck into his girdle a paper inscribed 'Leg of Mutton 10 l. [Cf. 'Hint to the canvassing Duchesses and Countesses - When these ladies may again give, as it can be proved they have given, five guineas for a bundle of broccoli, eight guineas for a leg of mutton &c. &c. the tradesman may certainly take the money with a safe.conscience, if he votes on the other side; and this has already been done in three instances in Westminster.'
