- Abstract:
- A fox with the face of Charles Fox runs away from a pack of hunting dogs, foremost of which is Pitt, with the key to the Treasury hanging from his collar, with Thurlow, in a Chancellor's wig. They are followed by the dogs representing the Duke of Richmond, Henry Dundas, and Lord Nugent. Behind them, Lord Temple, in a jockey's outfit, rides on an ass with the King's face. Above, a smiling sun with Lord Shelburne's face, casts rays at the hunting party, while the upset-looking Boreas (Lord North) blasts cold air at Pitt's head to impede his progress

- Abstract:
- The disproportionately large heads in wigs of, from left, Lord North, Charles Fox, and Edmund Burke, are displayed on top of Temple Bar. The arch contains reversed and burlesqued royal arms. In three niches below the arch stand headless statues of, from left, North as Avarice, Fox, shown as a fox, as Ambition, and Burke as Hypocrisy. The declaration signed by 'Justice' and pasted to the gate in the archway explains the reasons for elevating the three Whigs so highly, in a manner reminiscent of the execution of the Jacobite leaders in 1746. On the left are pasted two playbills. The upper one refers to the King's candidates in the Westminster election, the lower one to Fox as Cromwell, North as Boreas, and Burke as St. Omer, a 7th-century bishop who became blind in his old age. On the opposite side of the archway, an advertisement by 'Dr. Ax' is followed by a plea for votes from Cerberus whose three heads are named after North, Burke, and Fox

- Abstract:
- Charles Fox, with a fox's body, speaks to his supporters, shown as geese with human heads who crowd the windows of the King's Arms Tavern and the street below. At the top of the building, Fox's arms are supported by Burke and Lord North, each with a fox's body. Among the geese are the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Robinson in the upper right window, Sam House, shouting, "Huzza," in the bottom central window, and Jeffery Dunstan, the popular 'mayor of Garrett,' standing on the roof of a coach driven by the Earl of Surrey who stands on its box. The coach and its procession converge with a procession led by a goose carrying a standard with Cromwell's portrait signed, "Fox for ever," and the Cap of Liberty on its pole
