"A domestic interior. A fat and ugly citizen, wearing old-fashioned dress with a small unpowdered wig, stands on the hearth-rug (right), his back to the fire; he is meditatively reading the 'Gazette', headed: 'New Taxes', and 'Bankru[pts]', his left hand plunged in his breeches pocket. Behind him on the chimney-piece is a pair of scales for weighing guineas (see BMSat 5128). His wife, bald-headed, ugly, and stout, leans back in an arm-chair, her hands raised in protest at an unpowdered wig which a grotesquely thin and ragged French hairdresser (left) proffers obsequiously. A fashionably dressed young man with cropped hair looks with imbecile surprise at his reflection in an oval mirror over the chimney-piece. His mouth is half-covered by his swathed neckcloth, he wears a short spencer (see BMSat 8192) over a sparrow-tail coat, and half-boots. A young woman with over-dressed but unpowdered (red) hair looks with dismay at her reflection in a mirror which she has snatched from the wall. On the wall is an oval bust portrait of 'Charles 2d', his tiny head framed in an immense powdered wig."--British Museum online catalogue

Lord North at a wash-tub, washing clothes, with women standing round him. He stands in profile to the left stooping over a tub resting on a square stool or table; he is in his shirt, with his sleeves tucked up, but wearing his garter ribbon. His coat, with its star, lies on a stool behind him. He says, "Oh Lord I wish that Fox at the Devil". In the foreground (left) a fox with playing-cards under its feet, is biting a sack inscribed "Budgett". One woman, in profile to the right, holds up her hands, saying "Poor man he must want a drop of comfort [i.e. gin]". A woman standing full face, behind the tub, says, "Look at him, see what he has got by his Taxation". The third woman stands behind North holding a cloth, and saying "He deserves this Clout pin'd to his tail". A small child with curly hair is looking over the edge of the wash-tub. Over North's head is suspended an axe, suggestive of the impeachment and capital punishment with which he had been threatened by the Opposition and Press, cf. BMSat 5660, 5661, 5964, 6046, &c. [Threats of impeachment and the block had been made by Burke and Fox, e.g. by Fox, 27 Nov. 1781, 'Parl. Hist.' xxii. 692: Ministers would he trusted expiate their measures "on the public scaffold".] The room is poverty-stricken, with plaster coming off the walls. On the table (left) is bottle and glass. In the foreground (right) is a barrel lying on its side inscribed "Gin". On the wall hangs a paper or broadside inscribed, "to praise Lord North i thirst it (?) no ten for he has [? illegible forborne] to tax our Dear Gin".--British Museum online catalogue
