"The Duchess of Devonshire, intoxicated, walks arm-in-arm between two supporters, the one on her right being Fox, the other one of his more prominent adherents. Sam House (right) walks before them, acting as a link-boy with a lighted torch, his hat, decorated with a fox's brush, in his right hand. Fox says, "Hold up Georgiana another Qn [? quartern] an we shall soon be at Piccadilly". The Duchess says, "My Eyes & Limbs I shall Spew on the Duke to night". Her other supporter says, pointing to Sam House, "make hast Sam her Grace is taking short in the poop". Sam answers, "I will my lord Heaven bless her Grace". The Duchess wears no hat, but her hair is decorated with a plume ot three large ostrich feathers (cf. BMSat 6530); her breast is bare." -- British Museum online catalogue

Inside a church, Burke and Sheridan, in mourning clothes, cry next to the tomb on which rest the bodies of Lord North and Charles Fox, with a fox's head. Fox's eye is open and alert, his tongue hanging from the mouth. Above their heads, a crossbeam resting on two columns and inscribed, "The true reward [of] such virtues," forms a gallows with two nooses hanging from it. In the background are the tombs of Jonathan Wilde, a corrupted thieftaker, and Jemmy Twitcher, a character in The beggar's opera, and nicknames of, respectively, Sir Robert Walpole and the Earl of Sandwich; and of Walter Tyler, leader of the peasant uprising in 1381
