The electors of Westminster as geese, chairing Fox on his re-election, which his appointment as Secretary of State made necessary.  Fox (right), with a fox's head, in profile to the left, is seated in a chair resting on poles, which a number of geese are supporting on the points of their beaks.  He holds up a purse containing guineas in his right hand, saying "Gentlemen, I will be of Either side for or against is Aqualy alike to me so as I get the Chink".  Inside the crown of his hat, which he holds in his left hand, are the initials "C F".  The back of his chair is inscribed "Fill'd with [de]ceit".  In front of the chair a procession of geese-electors marches with banners, staves, and musical instruments.  They all wear hats with election favours.  In front (left) two geese support between them on two poles a square fringed and tasselled banner inscribed "The Man of the People".  At the back of the procession on a triangular banner, also fringed and tasselled, is "Fox for ever".  19 April 1783
