Pairs of elegantly dressed and coiffed ladies and gentlemen sit around a long table drinking champagne. On a dais sits 'Perdita' (Mary Robinson) who assures the Prince of Wales of her undying love. He looks at her adoringly and says, "Now what care I for Mom and Dad, let 'em scold and bellow." His left hand rests on books piled up on the table (the titles of which are also listed in the publisher's advertisement). Another lady on his left looking at him may be Elizabeth Armitstead (later Mrs. Fox) who succeeded Mrs. Robinson as his mistress. Other members of this group include Lord Derby and his actress wife, Elizabeth Farren, and Charles James Fox. The location appears to be the Schomberg House where James Graham established his 'Temple of Health and Hymen' famous for its 'Celestial Bed' (cf. British Museum catalogue no. 6325). Allusion to George IV's coming of age

On the left, Charles Fox, with one hand in his pocket as if searching for money, holds out with the other what may be a jaw bone of a donkey. He appears to be addressing the voters. To the right, Sam House holds a flag attached to an erect fox's tail, inscribed, "the intripid Fox," and reaches into his left pocket for ribbons for the election favors. A group of men on the right comes celebrating Fox's canvassing; one of them drinks from a tankard inscribed, "Sam House," a reference to House's publick house in Wardour Street where he kept open house for Fox's supporters

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
