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

Lord North balances smugly on his left foot atop the beam of a pair of scales tipping the balance in favor of a very obese Charles Fox. Fox laughs at Lord Shelburne who remains suspended on the other scale, unable to bring it down despite stamping his feet. He is being enveloped by a cloud of gas labelled "anathema" being excreted by North. Above to the left, George III, blindfolded with a tartan handkerchief, with the crown suspended above his head, reaches out from a cloud to place an enourmous wig on North's head

Charles Fox, with a fox's head in a wig, tilts to one side a wheelbarrow in which Lord Shelburne (William Petty) lies on his back, his arms and legs uncomfortably outstretched. Above them, Lord North as Boreas among the clouds, directs a strong blast on Shelburne's face. The text below the title, "The Devil can't Stand against A Double force. Vide the Votes of H: C: on ye. 18. [i.e., 17th] of Feby 1783," refers to the first of the two votes that, following the new coalition between Fox and North, led to Shelburne's resignation on February 24, 1783

Charles Fox hangs by the neck from a large balloon with the image of the East India House on it. He has a fox's tail inscribed, "The man of the people." Below on the left stands a female figure of Justice with the face of George III. Under his feet are sheets of paper inscribed, "Coalition" and "East India Bill." In the right hand he holds a scale with half royal crown on one side and "America' on the other. Lifting the cloth that covered his eyes, the King blows the balloon away. Opposite the King, Lord North kneels on the ground, a "Letter of dismission" next to him. He begs George to keep him in office

Lying on his stomach, a giant Lord North appraises the ship Britannia which is heeling over by the shore, as he encourages the members of his cabinet to pillage it. Diminutive figures of Fox, Portland, possibly Stormont, and Burke, stand on his back holding large sacks of loot. To the right on the ground stands "Sir" Jeffery Dunstan, the popular "Mayor of Garratt," and used wig seller, saying, "Old Whigs and Sham Whigs."

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
