Charles Fox, dressed as an Oriental prince, rides on top of an elephant depicted with Lord North's anxious-looking face. On his side to the left is a banner with "king of kings" written in Greek and "The man of the people" in English but crossed out to make it illegible. The elephant is led by Burke dressed in the Oriental fashion and blowing a trumpet. From the trumpet is suspended a fringed map of Bengal

Design in oval. In a ballroom, Lord North, dressed as a lady in hooped petticoats and wearing his Garter ribbon, is dancing with Charles Fox who holds his hat in his left hand. Behind them sits Lord Chancellor Thurlow playing the bagpipes while at the same time receiving a bag of money handed him by Britannia who sits next to him. Thurlow retained the chancellor's office through two administrations preceding the North-Fox coalition before he was forced by Fox to resign. The bag of money may refer to the pension he was then granted

A badger [Lord North] and a fox [Charles Fox] sit in an open hole dug in a side of a hill, facing each other and holding their right paws. The badger, with the Garter ribbon and in a bag wig, says, "The grapes which round this cavern grow in plenty / My new Friend Fox will prove to each a dainty." To which the fox responds, "Tho once I stunk you from your Hole / you now are welcome in upon my soul." A devil peeking from behind the grape vines points to both of them saying, "He he he -- he / They both are for me." A comment on the North-Fox coalition
