- Abstract:
- Lord North, Charles Fox and Edmund Burke take over the "Committe [sic] Room" of the East India Company. Burke, saying, "I will direct ye," pushes and boots out the door the Directors while Fox, standing in the middle of the room, excretes on the Company's charters. The satisfied-looking North stands next to Fox, his pocket overflowing with notes for large sums of money and stock. Behind them is a long table and the vacated "President's chair." In the corner to the left stand two crates filled with coins and signed "dollars," a bag of rupees and another one containing "a lack" [i.e., lakh, or one hundred thousand]. More coins are spilled on the floor in front of them

- Abstract:
- George III, submerged in water, his head and hands raised in supplication above the waves, is being pulled out by four men standing in "Victory's Boat." They are, from left to right, Admiral Keppel, Lord Shelburne, John Dunning, and the Duke of Richmond. A "Diving Bell" with a head of a judge, possibly Thurlow, is attached to the boat by another rope. Watching from the shore are Charles James Fox, with a fox's head, and Edmund Burke. Fox comments that "As maligrida [Shelburne] now does reign / all their labour is in vain," to which Burke adds, "if boreas was here he would much swell / and prevent the efects of the Diving Bell." 'Boreas,' the fictitious designer of this print is Lord North. The printmaker Twitcher is Lord Sandwich. The title alludes to the loss of the warship "Royal George" during repairs in Portsmouth in 1782

- Abstract:
- George III, surrounded by members of the present and former governments, stands on the British shore of the Atlantic Ocean. He holds out his arms in a gesture of uncertainty asking, "My Lords and Gentlemen, what should I do." Each of the statesmen gives his advice. In the background, "England's sun" is "setting" behind the hills at the foot of which sailors, soldiers and civilians are shown fighting, perhaps in allusion to the mutiny of sailors in Portsmouth in March 1783. Between both groups, on the extreme right, a smaller group of men with peg legs or on crutches, apparently veterans of the American war, is addressed by Lord Amherst who says, "Gentlemen we have no further occasion for you." On the extreme left, on the American shore of the Atlantic, a young girl in Indian dress sits between the kings of France and Spain, who each hold her hand. Benjamin Franklin places a wreath on top of her head-dress. Above in the sky, a witch flies away on a broomstick with a banner reading, "Peace -- Peace -- P-e-a-c" issuing from under her skirts

- Abstract:
- An enraged elephant with Lord North's face runs along Leadenhall Street chased by a group of opponents of the India Bill. They are led by the King who prods the elephant's hind leg with a spiked stick. The unseated Fox, falling head downwards, is about to hit the "East India Bill" which lies on the pavement, on which a dog is urinating. On the left, Burke, having dropped the elephant's rope and trumpet, runs away tripping over a large bundle, "Plans of Oeconomy." In the background, Pitt shores up the facade of the India House with a large beam

- Abstract:
- In an outdoor setting, Charles Fox, with a fox's head, and Lord North, both kneeling, supplicate Edmund Burke for absolution, in Fox's words, of the "sins not yett committed." Lord North, having confessed that his "sins are manifold and grievious," promises to submit to Burke's "holy injuctions & drink small beer all my life time." Burke, dressed in a monastic garb and biretta, his right hand raised in the act of benediction, points with his left one to the steep hill in front of him, on top of which stands gallows with a body hanging from it, and directs Fox and North to "go & sin no more ..." Behind Burke is another steep hill with a cross on top and a kneeling figure next to it.

- Abstract:
- Perched atop the uppermost windmill sail are Charles Fox and Lord North, the latter prevented from falling down by Fox's helping hand. Holding on to their legs in front of the sail hangs Burke. To the left, Lord Thurlow, in judge's robes, is about to loose his grip on the descending sail and thus follow Lord Shelburne who is about to hit the ground with his head. The rising sail on the right is occupied by several pro-coalition politicians. Others are trying to climb the sail currently at the ground level. Dundas, Sheridan and Pitt inspect the condition of the beams supporting the windmill. Pitt concludes that it "is rotten & half the corn is devoured by lurking vermin."
