- Depiction: The Duchess of Devonshire has taken to her arms the person of a fat and greasy butcher, whom she is favoring with a salute in the zeal of patriotism. Another fair canvasser, (possibly the Duchess of Gordon), rejoicing in proportions more expanded than those of the beautiful Georgiana, is seconding the proceeding. While shouting "Huzza, Fox for ever!," a lusty butcher, with his tray under his arm, is cheering and hurrying up to share his possible reward.
