Fox is depicted twice: on the left. 'A little before and during Election' and (right) 'After Election'. On the left he kneels, hat in hand, to kiss the bare posteriors of a butcher who looks round grinning, and says, "Charley is a fine promising Fellow, Charley for ever, Huzza!" On the right Fox bares his posteriors, looking round with a grin at the butcher who stands behind him, puzzled and dissatisfied, but hat in hand. Fox says "Now you may Kiss my A------e." Beneath the title is etched: 'NB The above may be applied with equal force against any of the Party at any other Place.' 26 June 1790
