- Abstract:
- Lord North, Charles Fox and Edmund Burke take over the "Committe [sic] Room" of the East India Company. Burke, saying, "I will direct ye," pushes and boots out the door the Directors while Fox, standing in the middle of the room, excretes on the Company's charters. The satisfied-looking North stands next to Fox, his pocket overflowing with notes for large sums of money and stock. Behind them is a long table and the vacated "President's chair." In the corner to the left stand two crates filled with coins and signed "dollars," a bag of rupees and another one containing "a lack" [i.e., lakh, or one hundred thousand]. More coins are spilled on the floor in front of them

- 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:
- An air balloon inscribed, "America," floats above a group of spectators who include, on the left, a Spaniard and a Frenchman, tied together with a chain and padlock and, on the right, a Dutchman with little devils climbing out of his pocket. Between them stands Franklin. In the background, Charles Fox and Lord North dance merrily to a tune played by the devil who is identified as 'Director general.' Next to them, a number of people vomit under a heavy block inscribed, "Opression taxes," on which stands the gallows with the corpses of 'trade,' 'wealth,' and 'liberty' hanging from it. In the balloon's basket are Washington, with two faces, stretching his arms towards the ghost of Cromwell, and Silas Deane, shaking at the sight of the ghost of "John the Painter" (James Aitken). Numbered figures are identified by references above the image

- Charles Fox and Lord North follow the post sign to "St. James 5 Miles." The surface of their saddles is covered with large projecting spikes. Lord North, holding a roll signed, "Taxation" under his arm, has lost his stirrup and holds on to the saddle of his fast trotting horse with an expression of anguish. Fox behind him holds a roll signed, "Coalition." In an attempt to relieve his awkward position, he has dropped the reins and tries to support his weight by leaning on the horse's withers and rump

In the second set of images he speaks both for and against the war for American independence. In the last set he assures Lord North of his sincere friendship only to deny it in the last image

- 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

- Lord North and Charles Fox stand bound together by a ribbon signed "Tie of interest" looped around their necks. North holds in his left hand a sheet of paper with the popular ballad, "Vicar of Bray," while Fox points to the list of his own "Debts of honour" (gambling debts). Playing cards and dice spread on the table are partially covered by the "Plan for disarming the I__h V____rs" (Irish Volunteers). A large sack inscribed "Budget" lies on the floor. Behind North hangs an oval bust portrait of him dressed as a cleric and inscribed "Vicar of Bray." Behind Fox is a similar portrait of him with a rope on his neck inscribed "Sergius Cataline." Above are three paintings showing, from left to right, two men hanging from a gibbet with the executioner's cart pulling away, the "State Vessel" blown down the "Stream of Corruption" by "Boreas" [North], and a fox running away with a goose in his mouth
