- On the left, Charles James Fox sits on a chair, his gouty left foot resting on a stool, his right hand holding a crutch. Behind him is a paper which reads "Plan to discharge the Nation[al] Debt". His right arm reaches out to a group of angry citizens confronting him with their complaints and pleas for relief. He says to them: "Gentlemen! I have been looking over my affairs, and give you my word of Honor you shall all be paid this day twelve month." A butcher, baker, orphan child, a nurse, and other troubled citizens voice their complaints in separate speech bubbles
