A vertically divided male figure comprised of Lord North on the left and Charles Fox on the right is shown dressed only in breeches and with the upper body organs exposed to the viewer. Across the forehead is pasted a ribbon, "pro privato lucro." The organs they share include a tongue signed "Truth" (in reverse), "oratorial lungs," stomach labeled "Indostan Great Britain" ('Great' written in reverse), and the "Self-interest" artery splitting into two "P- of W-'s [i.e., Prince of Wales's] establishment" and "East India Bill" veins, each emptying into a full pocket signed, "pickings." North's foot, labeled "affection," presses down on an excreting fox. Fox's leg is signed, "prostitution." For his ribs he sports "13 stripes" while North's ribs are labeled "place," "pension," "sinecure," "contract," "loan," "title," "&.&."
