- Abstract:
- "The Devil (or a satyr) crouches behind a magic lantern whose handle he is turning. Its light is thrown on a draped sheet, speared to the wall by a fork. Facing the lantern, life-size and realistic, but apparently displayed by the lantern, stand (left to right) Fox, Sheridan, and Lansdowne. Each stands as if speaking in Parliament: Fox, with right hand in his breeches pocket, left fist raised for a downward thrust; Sheridan stooping forward as if expounding, right forefinger extended, left fist half raised; Lansdowne smiling blandly. The Devil points at Fox; an angry man at his side (right) threatens Fox with fist and bludgeon."--British Museum online catalogue
