- Abstract:
- William Pitt, leaning on a large anchor, holds his left hand over the diminutive figures of Charles Fox and Lord North who are shown as 'nobodies,' with their heads resting on top of their breeches. From a cloud over Pitt's irradiated head extends a hand holding a star on a ribbon signifying a "reward of virtue." Above Fox's and North's heads, a grouping of oriental-looking "air castles on an improved plan" floats on another cloud, as a reminder of the defeat of Fox's East India bill
