Satire on the 1754 election representing the road between London and Oxford (the cities represented in the distance to left and right). The London candidates are led by Sir Crisp Gascoyne with a friend who indicates four witches flying on broomsticks, one of whom represents Mary Squires, the "old gipsy"; next are a group of Jews including Samson Gideon, then William Beckford and Sir William Calvert on horseback and Sir Richard Glyn in a post-chaise attempting to overtake the Jews; Slingsby Bethel drives his own gig in the foreground and Sir Robert Ladbroke and Sir John Barnard bring up the rear on horseback. 
<p><br>The Oxford candidates are led by Lord Wenman and Sir James Dashwood on horseback, followd by Lord Parker and Sir Edward Turner in a chaise with the Duke of Marlborough as postilion; the Duke of Newcastle brings up the rear driving a phaeton and explaining that he had been delayed by a funeral (that of his brother Henry Pelham, prime minister, who had died on 6 March). 4 April 1754
