Abstract: Charles Fox, with a fox's body, sits on the ground facing a building inscribed, "The Treasury," with the entrance signed, "Back door." He laments the loss of power and his inability to "get oer this mighty Pit [i.e., William Pitt]" shown as a large oval hole in the ground in front of him. Six geese stand on the other side of the 'pit' ridiculing him. A reference to the struggle between Pitt and Fox in Parliament prior to its dissolution
