Abstract:: "The Duchess of Devonshire (right), in profile to the left, kisses a fat butcher, putting her arms round his shoulders. She wears a hat trimmed with feathers and ribbons. A plump woman approaches the butcher from the left holding out her arms and shouting "Huzza - Fox for Ever". Her dress, with uncovered breast, suggests that she is a courtesan. [Grego suggests that she may be the Duchess of Gordon, but the duchess, like Mrs. Hobart (also plump), was opposed to Fox. Anti-Fox newspaper paragraphs did their best to suggest that the ladies who canvassed for Fox were of bad character, e.g.: 'Among the fairest of the fair canvassers on the part of the 'Man of the People', none was more successful than the 'Corbina' alias the 'White Crow', not the 'Bird of Paradise' [Mrs. Mahon], nor the 'Perdita' [Mrs. Robinson], sent so many polls to the Hustings.' Quoted in 'Westminster Election', 1784, p. 232. 'Lady Grosvenor, Lady Dornhoff, Lady Cr - [Craven], just come from Paris, and Lady Worsley, are among the canvassers who have the modesty to attempt to dictate to the honest tradesman and independent citizen.' 'Ibid.', p. 240. Cf. British Museum Satires No. 6546, &c.] Behind (left) a man wearing jack-boots holding a butcher's tray under his arm advances towards the group, waving his hat and shouting."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Fox, wearing a military cocked hat, with civilian dress, threatens Prussia (or Frederick William III) with his sabre, while he puts a foot on the sword that Prussia has dropped. The latter, a grotesque figure with a long pigtail and moustaches, kneels terrified at his feet, clasping his hands in supplication. His Death's Head Hussar cap falls from his thrown-back head; he wears a fur-trimmed cloak and tunic, with a badge of the Prussian Eagle on his sleeve, with half-boots and extravagant spurs. Fox says, with an expression of sour and calculating contempt, " - O you Prussian Marauder, you! - what I've caught you at last? - what, You took me for a double-faced-Talleyrand! did you? - did you think I was like yourself, to Look One way & Row another? - what you thought because I make Loyal Speeches now, that I must be a Turncoat? - O you Frenchified Villain! - I'll teach you to humbug & insult my poor, dear, dear Master? - & to join with such Rascals as Boney, & O'Conner!" Prussia exclaims, terrified, "indeed! indeed! indeed! I could not help it. - " Meanwhile, Napoleon, holding his sabre, and wearing feathered bicorne, with spurred jack-boots, furtively hastens up to Fox from behind, to read the open book which the latter displays to him behind his back: 'State of the Nation'.

Image Count:: 1
Resource Type:: still image
Abstract:: "Pitt (caricatured), dressed as Rolla, addresses a group of chieftains (left); the ranks of the Peruvian army with erect spears watch from the background. Below the (printed) title is printed Rolla's patriotic speech from 'Pizarro', II. ii, beginning 'My brave Associates', 'and ... we serve a Monarch whom we love . . .' (see British Museum Satires No. 9436). He stands with both arms outstretched, head turned in profile to the left, pointing rhetorically across the sea to the Spaniards, whom Sheridan (in this speech) equates with French republicans, and who are here represented by the Foxites. The Peruvians wear feathered head-dresses and feather kilts in the manner of Red Indians, except Dundas, who wears tartan and feathered head-dress. Dundas (caricatured) sits on the ground holding bow and shield, and looking with cunning scepticism at Pitt; he is the only one of the ministerial group of five who can be identified, though others may be presumed to be Grenville, Portland, and Windham."--British Museum online catalogue and From the printed British Museum catalogue: "(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) The Foxites, who 'fight for power, for plunder and extended rule', and follow 'an Adventurer whom they fear', all wear or carry bonnets-rouges and have tricolour flags, one inscribed 'Libertas'. They are small comic figures headed by Fox, who urges them towards the water. The others (left to right) are Lauderdale with a flag, Derby with a shield, Bedford wearing a jockey cap, Erskine in wig and gown, Norfolk holding his Earl Marshal's staff, Tierney holding pistols (see BMSat 9218, &c), Burdett, and two unidentified figures. For Pizarro see BMSat 9396, &c. The scene is burlesqued and altered from the play, where it takes place in the Temple of the Sun. The patriotic speech of Rolla (cf. BMSat 9436) made the fortune of the play and was reprinted as a broadside or placard in 1803, see BMSat 9397."

The contents are the Opposition: Fox (three-quarter length), the largest figure, is sliding in; he clutches the long forelock of Burdett, who with Tierney is just behind him, and still in the cart. He looks despairingly at Pitt, who stands (right) in profile to the left, in surplice and bands, and pointing down the pit. Pitt reads from his open book: 'With a sincere hope that none of you will ever rise again, I commit you all to the Pit-hole!' Sheridan is about to fall in head first. Behind, and towering above Burdett and Tierney (who are comparatively self-controlled), is Erskine in wig and gown, holding a 'Brief', his arms raised in terrified supplication. On his left is the profile of Bedford (right) wearing a jockey-cap. The large head of the tiny Lord Derby is in the back left corner of the cart. Two small feet are disappearing into the pit, perhaps belonging to M. A. Taylor. The carter, raising the back of the cart, says: "Good bye to you, my Masters, Parson Billy will soon settle the business". His horse, unharnessed, stands with its head behind the cart.", This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

The Friends of the People must be blasted by us! Sherridan, Ersk[ine].' On one of the door-posts is a narrow slit inscribed 'Anonymous - Letter Box'.
