Old England, or an election in the year 1580. Great Britain, or an election in the year 1780. (BM J,7.37), A design in two compartments: The left (1580) depicts 'The Freeholders of a County requesting an Old Englishman to become their Representative'. A man stands (left), with his hat under his arm, holding out a deprecating hand towards a deputation advancing towards him all bowing, hat in hand; it consists of three men, with the head of a fourth appearing from the right. All are dressed in quasi-Elizabethan dress; the 'Old Englishman', as appears from his profile, is intended for Keppel, who on being defeated at Windsor had been offered election by Surrey and Sussex, and had chosen, and been returned by, the former (Walpole, 'Last Journals', ii. 330) in spite of a contribution of £4,000 from the Treasury to the support of his opponent, Onslow. 'Corr. of George III', v. 466. This is indicated by the names of the supposed artists.
On the right (1780) is depicted 'A modern fine Gentleman bribing the Electors of a Borough to make him their Representative'. The electors (left) are represented as tradesmen, receiving the offers of the candidate (right), who advances towards them with a mincing gait, holding a purse in his left hand, and coins in the right. He is dressed in the extreme of foppishness and smiles ingratiatingly. Behind him stands the king, partly cut off by the right edge of the print. His left hand is on the candidate's shoulder and he holds up towards the electors notes inscribed "50£; 50". Of the five electors, one is a butcher (left) with a steel hanging from his belt, another is a tailor, with scissors and a yard-measure. A third holds what appears to be the beam of a pair of scales; he is being addressed by a bearded Jew. All are of repulsive appearance.  The candidate is Powney.  12 December 1780

イングランド、または1580年の選挙。イギリス、または1780年の選挙。(BM J,7.37)2つの区画からなる設計図。左の部分は「郡会議員が古イギリス人に下院議員になるよう求める」と描かれている。帽子を脇に抱え、脇に向かって手を差し出して、お辞儀をして、帽子を手にして、三人の男から成り、右側から4人目の頭が現れている。全員が準エリザベスのドレスを着ている。彼のプロフィールから明らかなように、「オールド・イングリッシュマン」は、サリーとサセックスからウィンザーで敗北し、どちらにするかを選択され、返却されたケッペルのために意図されている。「ジョージ3世の戴冠」、466年。作者の呼称によるもの。右の「現代の立派な紳士が、バラの選挙人を代表者にするために振る舞っている」。選挙人は商人として表され、候補者の申し出を受け、候補者はミンシングの歩行で彼らに向かって進み、左手に財布を持ち、右側にコインを持っている。極度の露出狂で、笑顔を浮かべて笑っている。背後には王が立ち、版画の右端に部分的に切り取られている。左腕は候補者の肩に掛け、彼は「50£; 50」と書かれた選挙人ノートに向かっている。選帝侯5人のうち、1人は帯から鋼を垂らした肉屋(左)、もう1人ははさみとヤードの測定を備えた仕立て屋である。第三に、一対のの梁に見えるものを所蔵しており、彼は髭を生やしたユダヤ人によって言及されている。どれも、反抗的な風貌だ。候補者はポーニー。1780年12月12日 エッチング
