- 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:
- 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." Below on the left stands a female figure of Justice with the face of George III. Under his feet are sheets of paper inscribed, "Coalition" and "East India Bill." In the right hand he holds a scale with half royal crown on one side and "America' on the other. Lifting the cloth that covered his eyes, the King blows the balloon away. Opposite the King, Lord North kneels on the ground, a "Letter of dismission" next to him. He begs George to keep him in office

- Abstract:
- "Fox, seated on a globe, looks down at three men who fall headlong from it. On the globe is sketched a map, intended to represent India. On it are marked, "Gold Mines" and "Madras", and, to the south, Indian Ocean. Fox holds up in his left hand his "Bill to Reform India[n] Affairs". He is saying, "Thanks to my Auspicious Stars, for now I see, the Gold & Silver mines before me; 'tis this I am Soaring for". The central of the men falling head downwards wears a coat with military facings, his wig has fallen from his head; he says, "What my Government gone ere I had made or unmade one Nabob? Oh perdition Seize that wiley Fox". He is perhaps intended for Hastings. The man falling on the left, evidently a Director, is saying, "If the Nation knew his Treacherous heart as well as me, the directors wou'd be prefer'd". The man on the right says, "Must I for ever be hurl'd from such pretty pickings? wou'd I cou'd grapple in my fall the author of it." Coins are falling from the pockets of all three men."--British Museum online catalogue
