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
