- Abstract:
- In an outdoor setting, Lord North and Charles Fox are shown embracing. Fox, taller of the two, his face expressing satisfaction, nearly lifts the perplexed-looking North off the ground in an attempt to kiss him on the mouth saying, "I perfectly agree with your Lord Ship." To their right, under a tree, a fox and a clumsy-looking dog with a collar inscribed "North" sniff at each other. In the background on the left stands a small figure of Lord Shelburne saying "Risum teneatis Amici."

On a platform in front of them, Punch with the face of the Duke of Portland performs moves controlled by Lord North and Charles Fox who, from behind a screen in the back, pull strings attached to Punch's toes.

- Heads of the members of the new ministry stand on wig blocks in a barber's shop. The barber washes his hands in a bowl attached to a double stand with the bewildered looking head of Lord North and the happily smiling one of Charles Fox on it. Behind them stand blocks with the heads of the Duke of Portland, Lords Cavendish, Stormont (David Murray), Carlisle, and Admiral Keppel. Samuel House, a well known Fox supporter, and a plebeian politician, is seated, with his tankard in his hand, in a chair placed next to Keppel's head. The head of Burke behind him wears an unhappy expression, perhaps at the distance between him and the other cabinet members. Behind the barber on the floor lie the discarded heads of former ministers, the Duke of Grafton, Lord Shelburne, and Dundas. Above on the wall are mirror images of Charles I and Cromwell, ready to embrace each other.
