The Duchess of Devonshire (right), wearing very wide hooped petticoats, shelters a fox beneath them.   Its head projects from a slit which she holds open with her hands, its tail shows between her feet. She says:
<p><br><br>"Here my dear Reynard when all trouble's past,
<br>You'll find a Borrough open at the last."
<br><br>Her hat is trimmed with the usual ostrich plumes and fox's brush, cf. BMSat 6530, &amp;c. North stands facing her, saying "He's IN for a Borrough". Beneath the design is inscribed:
<br><br>"In vain may Wits reprove, and Criticks blame,
<br>Nor shall concealment in this cause defame,
<br>Reynard in gratitude of such protection,
<br>Now pays the devoirs of his Election." 28 April 1784
