The political weeping willow [graphic].[13 May 1791]eng"Fox stands full face, his arms extended; these arms are the branches of a tree, and his body is its trunk. The two branches fork into the boughs of a weeping-willow, whose foliage forms an arch above Fox's head, and hangs nearly to the ground. Tears fall from his eyes and pour in a stream down the trunk of the tree, forming a pool at its feet."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Satire alluding to the debate Fox versus Burke, May 6, 1791, on the French Canadian constitution.
