- 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:
- Charles Fox, with a fox's head in a wig, tilts to one side a wheelbarrow in which Lord Shelburne (William Petty) lies on his back, his arms and legs uncomfortably outstretched. Above them, Lord North as Boreas among the clouds, directs a strong blast on Shelburne's face. The text below the title, "The Devil can't Stand against A Double force. Vide the Votes of H: C: on ye. 18. [i.e., 17th] of Feby 1783," refers to the first of the two votes that, following the new coalition between Fox and North, led to Shelburne's resignation on February 24, 1783

- 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

- Abstract:
- 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

- Abstract:
- An enraged elephant with Lord North's face runs along Leadenhall Street chased by a group of opponents of the India Bill. 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

- Abstract:
- In a parody of Fuseli's Nightmare Lord Shelburne lies asleep on two rows of spikes inscribed with article numbers from the peace treaty with the United States. On his chest stands a fox with Fox's face, tearing at his crotch with his front paws and urinating on his face while saying, "If He opens his mouth I will be down his Throat." Above Shelburne's feet hovers Lord North's head saying, "the North fog Rot Him." Next to Shelburne's habitually smiling face crouches Lord Ashburton in a lawyer's robe and wig, holding a smelling-bottle and saying, "take comfort my Lord. for you I will be always Dunning."
