- 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, dressed as Cromwell, paints the execution of Charles I, using royal crown and sceptre as artist's tools. Above the canvas hangs a painting showing a fox, with the Liberty cap on a stick, presenting a male figure of America with a sheet of paper inscribed, "Independence." Behind Fox stands the angry female figure of Justice, her blindfold removed, a sword inscribed, "justice," in her right hand. In the left hand she holds a pair of scales of which the one filled with "loyalty" outweighs the one holding a fox. On the floor lies an open volume entitled, "Patriotism by C. Cromwell," propped on the hilt of a sword labeled, "Commonwealth."

- Abstract:
- The agitated George III, a trowel in his hand, watches Charles Fox, as a fox, with the "liberty" ribbon draped accross his back, leap over the "vanity pit" (William Pitt) in pursuit of a pack of hounds. In Fox's mouth is the judge's cloak that he pulled off the bewigged and snarling hound (Lord Thurlow). A column inscribed, "to Eastern tyranny," topples down upsetting the male figure of Injustice who holds a sword and a pair of scales. The fox urinates on one of the lanterns that symbolize conspiracy. Behind it, Boreas (Lord North) succeeds in blowing down the "Temple of secret influence" (Lord Temple).
