Library's copy has yellow and gray hand-colored border partially on plate mark.
The Duke of Norfolk (right) stands on a dais at the head of a table (only part of which is visible), directed to the left, raising a brimming glass; in his left hand is a wine-bottle; he says: "Our Sovereign, - the Majesty of the People!!! - " At his right hand sits Fox; in the foreground, straddling across his chair and turning his head in profile to look at Norfolk, sits the Duke of Bedford: from his pocket hangs a scroll: 'Grants from ye Crown an Old Song by the Bedford Farmer' [cf. Burke's 'Letter to a Noble Lord', and BMSat 8788]. On the extreme left, and next Bedford, sits Nicholls. Fox, on Norfolk's right, is next Sheridan. Behind them standing figures, freely sketched, rise in a pyramid. Conspicuous among them is a little chimney-sweeper with 'C Fox Knaves Acre' on his cap (according to the Act by which climbing boys were to wear the name and address of their masters on their caps). All raise their glasses high. Bottles of wine stand on the table, and empty bottles are piled against the chairman's dais. Norfolk tramples on his peer's robe, which he has thrown off. On the back of his chair is a bonnet-rouge in the form of a fool's cap. Two hands (belonging to Justice) emerge from clouds above Norfolk's head. The right hand uses shears to cut off the lower part of a scroll: 'Gifts \ & \ Honors bestowed \ by the \ Crown \ First Dukedom \ First Earldom \ First Barony \ Earl Marshalship \ Rank next the \ Blood Royal \ £60 000 pr Annum \ Coll of Militia \ Lord Lieutenant \ of Yorkshire \'. (The last three lines are about to be cut off.) The left hand holds a pair of scales evenly balanced and points with a forefinger to a scroll: 'Jockey of Nxxxxxx - be not too bold!!!'
