- Abstract:
- Lord North balances smugly on his left foot atop the beam of a pair of scales tipping the balance in favor of a very obese Charles Fox. Fox laughs at Lord Shelburne who remains suspended on the other scale, unable to bring it down despite stamping his feet. He is being enveloped by a cloud of gas labelled "anathema" being excreted by North. Above to the left, George III, blindfolded with a tartan handkerchief, with the crown suspended above his head, reaches out from a cloud to place an enourmous wig on North's head

- Abstract:
- George III, submerged in water, his head and hands raised in supplication above the waves, is being pulled out by four men standing in "Victory's Boat." They are, from left to right, Admiral Keppel, Lord Shelburne, John Dunning, and the Duke of Richmond. A "Diving Bell" with a head of a judge, possibly Thurlow, is attached to the boat by another rope. Watching from the shore are Charles James Fox, with a fox's head, and Edmund Burke. Fox comments that "As maligrida [Shelburne] now does reign / all their labour is in vain," to which Burke adds, "if boreas was here he would much swell / and prevent the efects of the Diving Bell." 'Boreas,' the fictitious designer of this print is Lord North. The printmaker Twitcher is Lord Sandwich. The title alludes to the loss of the warship "Royal George" during repairs in Portsmouth in 1782

- 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."

- Abstract:
- George III, surrounded by members of the present and former governments, stands on the British shore of the Atlantic Ocean. He holds out his arms in a gesture of uncertainty asking, "My Lords and Gentlemen, what should I do." Each of the statesmen gives his advice. In the background, "England's sun" is "setting" behind the hills at the foot of which sailors, soldiers and civilians are shown fighting, perhaps in allusion to the mutiny of sailors in Portsmouth in March 1783. Between both groups, on the extreme right, a smaller group of men with peg legs or on crutches, apparently veterans of the American war, is addressed by Lord Amherst who says, "Gentlemen we have no further occasion for you." On the extreme left, on the American shore of the Atlantic, a young girl in Indian dress sits between the kings of France and Spain, who each hold her hand. Benjamin Franklin places a wreath on top of her head-dress. Above in the sky, a witch flies away on a broomstick with a banner reading, "Peace -- Peace -- P-e-a-c" issuing from under her skirts

They are led by the King who prods the elephant's hind leg with a spiked stick. The unseated Fox, falling head downwards, is about to hit the "East India Bill" which lies on the pavement, on which a dog is urinating. On the left, Burke, having dropped the elephant's rope and trumpet, runs away tripping over a large bundle, "Plans of Oeconomy." In the background, Pitt shores up the facade of the India House with a large beam
