Ready Mony the prevailing candidate, or the Humours of an election (BM 1868,0808.3520), Satire on corrupt elections, particularly that of 1727, set in a country town with several candidates bribing voters. On the left, a statue of Justice in a niche beneath which a candidate, doffing his hat, offers a purse of money to a voter who replies, "Twill scarce pay, make it twenty more", beside them a gentleman points to the statue saying "Regard Justice" to another carrying a bundle on his shoulder who replies, "We fell out, I lost money by her". In the centre, in front of a large crowd are two candidates, both waving their hats, slip coins into two of the many pockets of a voter's coat; one candidate says, "Sell not your Country" and the voter replies, "No Bribery but Pocketts are free".  Further to the right another candidate, saying "Accept this small acknowledgment", offers a purse to a gentleman who grovels on the ground for coins that have been thrown down by the prevailing candidate, from his position on a chair supported by poles on the shoulders of four men. On the right, a statue of Folly in a niche empties bags of coins; before the statue is an altar on which a fire burns, a candidate kneels at its base imploring, "Help me Folly or my Cause is lost"; to the left of the altar, is a butcher crying "See here, see here" and to the right, a classical philosopher, saying "Let not thy right hand know what thy left does", puts his hand behind him to received a bribe from a young man. Beyond is a tavern outside the landlord, wearing horns, calls out "He kist my Wife he has my Vote"; outside the tavern hangs the sign of a bottle with a large globe attached. Three columns of verse beneath.  1727

有力な候補者を列挙する。 選挙のユーモア 、特に1727年の腐敗選挙の風刺。左側には、帽子をかぶった候補者が「少ない給料で、さらに20倍」と答えた有権者に財布を差し出し、その候補者の肩に束を乗せて別の人物に「正義に感謝する」と唱える紳士が、像を指さしている。中央では、大群衆の前に2人の候補者がおり、どちらも帽子を振り、有権者のコートのポケットの2つにコインを入れます。さらに右の候補者は「この小さな承認を受け入れよ」と言って、候補者が投げたコインを地面にって、男性4人の肩のポールが支える椅子の上に座って、財布を敷く紳士に差し出す。右側には、硬貨の袋を空にしているフォリーの像がある。像が火が燃える祭壇である前は、候補者が「Help me Folly or my Cause is lost」と懇願してその基礎にひざまずいている。祭壇の左側には、「ここに見よ、ここに見よ」と叫んでいる肉屋がいる。そして右側には、「あなたの右の手は、あなたの左の行いを知らないでください」と唱える古典的な哲学者が、若い男性から賄賂を受けるために彼の後ろに手を置いている。家主の外側の居酒屋は角を生やし、「彼は私の妻を盗んで、私の声を盗んで」と叫んでおり、居酒屋の外では大きな球体が付いた瓶の看板がかかっている。下の3つの詩の列。1727年 エッチング
