"From the stage of a theatre, two figures address the audience: Charles Fox (left) with a fox's head, holds under his left arm a tray in which are two doll-like infants in swaddling bands; in his right hand is a paper inscribed, "Norton & Fox Sponsors". He is saying: "Discovered by the Secret Committee". In the centre is another man with a wide open mouth, whose head is perhaps intended for that of a dolphin. He holds a paper inscribed "The Child of the People". On the right. of the stage is part of a fountain supported by a satyr. On each side of the stage are two tiers of boxes; in the lower box on the right. Punch is talking to a lady."--British Museum online catalogue

"Bergami (left), dressed as a courier, stands full-face, arms raised in astonishment; he smiles down compacently at the Princess (right), who is short, fat, very décolletée, and grossly caricatured; she puts her right arm behind his waist, pointing to the right with a coarse grin of invitation. Below the title: 'The Dame was fair; but bold and forward was her mein. Unguarded roved her eye: All soft and delicate she lightly tripped along; the clear texture of her Robe betraying every Limb and adding to the charms it seemed designed to shade. She, free and debonair, hanging round his waist (she could not reach his Neck) with winning kindness thus addressed him. Dear Youth retire with me from Toils and Perils free Leave Honor to the Wretch! Pleasures were made for Thee."--British Museum online catalogue
