- Abstract:
- The agitated George III, a trowel in his hand, watches Charles Fox, as a fox, with the "liberty" ribbon draped accross his back, leap over the "vanity pit" (William Pitt) in pursuit of a pack of hounds. In Fox's mouth is the judge's cloak that he pulled off the bewigged and snarling hound (Lord Thurlow). A column inscribed, "to Eastern tyranny," topples down upsetting the male figure of Injustice who holds a sword and a pair of scales. The fox urinates on one of the lanterns that symbolize conspiracy. Behind it, Boreas (Lord North) succeeds in blowing down the "Temple of secret influence" (Lord Temple).
