The rival candidates
Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827 · April 8, 1784
The three candidates who were contesting the great fight for the representation of Westminster are represented according to their supposititious characteristics. Fox, with his hand on his heart, and his arm held out in a declamatory attitude, stands for Demosthenes ; Hood is introduced as Themistocles ; and Wray is less flatteringly served up in the character of Judas Iscariot.
