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

A crown labeled, "Asia," fallen from Fox's head, lies at Pitt's feet. The title refers to freedom of the City given Pitt by the Grocers' Guild

Thomas Powys, sleeping in a chair on the left, and Charles Marsham, with a tankard, two of the country gentlemen urging the union between Fox and Pitt, preside over a maypole dance in front of the "St. Albans" tavern, their meeting place. The maypole is decorated with a sleeping head of George III. Dancers include members of the Coalition cabinet, pictured with devil's horns: Charles Fox, with a fox's body, Burke, dressed as a Jesuit, and the Duke of Portland, and members of the preceding cabinet, pictured with haloes: Lord Thurlow, in a judge's robe, a smiling Lord Shelburne, and the Duke of Richmond. They are watched on the left by the "nurse North," with horns, holding baby Pitt, with a halo, and on the right, by the Prince of Wales, dancing to his own tune he is playing on a pipe and a drum

A fox with the face of Charles Fox runs away from a pack of hunting dogs, foremost of which is Pitt, with the key to the Treasury hanging from his collar, with Thurlow, in a Chancellor's wig. They are followed by the dogs representing the Duke of Richmond, Henry Dundas, and Lord Nugent. Behind them, Lord Temple, in a jockey's outfit, rides on an ass with the King's face. Above, a smiling sun with Lord Shelburne's face, casts rays at the hunting party, while the upset-looking Boreas (Lord North) blasts cold air at Pitt's head to impede his progress

A dog with the heads of Lord North, Charles Fox, and Edmund Burke stands guard in front of a gate inscribed, "Portland" and probably representing the Treasury. The dog's "Coalition" collar is secured with an "Interest" padlock and decorated with the Prince of Wales's feathers. The inscription on its tail refers to a bag of euphorbium thrown in Fox's face by an opponent. Above the gate, Cromwell's face makes the central keystone in the arch. It is flanked by two axes and two masks with devil's horns: the smiling one is Lord Derby; the scowling one Admiral Keppel
