Summary:A smiling Charles Fox, as Guy Vaux, seated in a chair resting on two poles, is carried by Hall, the apothecary, and Sam House, two of his staunch supporters. He holds in one hand a dark lantern, inscribed, "amor patriae," and in the other a bundle of matches "for the new Parliament." Sam House, dressed in his customary open shirt and ungartered stockings, wears a hat with an election favor signed, "Vaux." Hall has on his head a mortar with pestle instead of a hat. Anti-Fox verses are etched below the image.
