Description |
English: Satire on the corrupt election in Denbighshire exposed in 1742. Isaac Maddox, Bishop of St Asaph, bows before Sir Watkin Williams Wynn who holds out a letter, evidently passed to him by the farmer standing beside him who taps his nose knowlingly, that reads, "By voting for my good firend Mr M[yddelton] you'l Oblidge A[saph]". On the wall behind hang pictures of the disobedient prophet who was slain by a lion (1 Kings 13) and the worship of the golden calf (Exodus 32).

Notes | Wynn was an extremely wealthy landowner who was lost his seat for the county of Denbighshire in 1741 due to corrupt practices (see BM Satires 2534); Maddox had supported Wynn's opponent, the Walpolian John Myddelton, and had to apologise to the House of Commons when the election was overturned the following year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Licensing
[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. ![]() |
