Abstract: On the top of a hill, Lord Shelburne (William Petty) stands leaning against a gallows, his hands crossed at the wrists and eyes downcast. In front of him are Charles Fox and Lord North, their left hands joined. North's right hand reposes reassuringly on Fox's left shoulder. Fox points to Shelburne behind him with his right thumb. All three have beards characterizing them as Jews. The text below the design reads, "And Herod and Pilate were made Friends together that same Day; for before they were Enemies one to another. Luke. Cap 23, Ver 12."
