Description |
English: The Duke of Devonshire (left) pulls on a pair of breeches, looking towards the Duchess and saying, "I'll not be drained of my last Farthing, therefore, my Lady, henceforth I will wear the Breeches". The Duchess, her mouth wide open as if shrieking, falls back into the arms of Fox (left) who supports her. From under her petticoats fall streams of guineas and money-bags inscribed 'For tardy Voters'. She and Fox wear in their hats favours inscribed respectively 'Townshend' and 'Townsend'. On the wall are two pictures: one (left) of the Duke of Devonshire with a whip driving a horse into a stable; the frame is inscribed 'Cavendo tutus' (the Cavendish motto). The other, with the same title in reversed characters, of Fox and the Duchess carrying between them on a pole an enormous bunch of grapes. 30 July 1788

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) One of many satires on the Westminster by-election, see BMSat 7339, &c. The part taken by the Duchess was acknowledged by the flag inscribed 'Sacred to Female Patriotism' carried on the chairing of the member (4 Aug.) as in 1784 (see BMSats 6590, 6600). |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
