"A companion print to BMSat 6791. Fox, North, and Burke in a poverty-stricken room: North (left), seated in a low arm-chair, leans back yawning, arms above his head, legs stretched out. On the wall above his head hangs a broken pair of bellows, emblem of his Borean blast. Burke, (right), very thin, seated on a three-legged stool, is mending the breeches which he has taken off. Behind his head is a spider in the centre of a cobweb. Between and behind them stands Fox, in the attitude of an orator, right arm raised, rehearsing a speech and regarding himself in a cracked mirror (right) which reflects his anxious and gloomy expression. Above his head a dark lantern, emblem of a conspirator, hangs on the wall (cf. BMSat 6784, &c)."--British Museum online catalogue

On Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, Fox is shown walking arm-in-arm with the Duchess of Devonshire left to right. Her petticoats are being blown up to the knee by a blast from the mouth of North, whose head emerges from clouds in the upper left corner of the design. She says, "The Favourable assistance of Boras is very gratefull when heated, by the fateigues of Canvasing". Fox dances along with a slyly jovial expression, holding up in his left hand a purse labelled 'Fresh Supplies'; he says, 'Charly loves to kiss & play as sweet as Sugar Candy'. The Duchess wears a hat trimmed with a large 'Fox' favour, three ostrich feathers and a fox's brush. From her left leg hangs the ribbon of a garter inscribed 'Fox'. Immediately behind the Duchess is Burke on hands and knees peering under her petticoats; he says, "Heavens how happily the principels of the Sublime & Butiful are blended". Behind him walk together two rough fellows (left), one a butcher, who turns grinning to his companion and points to the Duchess's legs and saying, "I thought we ware all to avoid a Scrutany if Possible". Across the front of his cap is the word 'Fox'. The other answers, "So we are, for except in this instance Dam me if I think we are able to bare one". On the extreme right a grinning youth plays a fiddle to which Fox dances; he sings, "Charly loves good Cakes & ale Charly loves good Brandy

Abstract:
The new ministry is depicted on a large carousel, erected in front of the "Crown and Royal Bob" Inn. The structure is supported by a center pole held in place by pegs labelled "Treasury," "Navy" and "Army" terminating at the top with the head of the King in the form of a wig block. Fox, with a fox's head and tail, leads the procession, holding a bag of money. Behind him, Lord North on a horse with its legs cut short, loses his wig; Burke in Jesuit's habit and on a similarly lame horse, has partially turned into a skeleton due to his economical reform; Admiral Keppel behind him is desperate to remain seated on his donkey. Lastly a Scotsman labelled "President" signifies Scottish influence over the Crown. Watching from a seat before the Inn, a complacent John Bull mouths slogans of liberty, unaware that his house is being plundered behind him

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."
