Charles Fox, dressed as an Oriental prince, rides on top of an elephant depicted with Lord North's anxious-looking face. On his side to the left is a banner with "king of kings" written in Greek and "The man of the people" in English but crossed out to make it illegible. The elephant is led by Burke dressed in the Oriental fashion and blowing a trumpet. From the trumpet is suspended a fringed map of Bengal.

Three wizards (right) in monkish robes tend a boiling cauldron inscribed: 'Eye of Straw & toe of Cade ... For the ingredients of our cauldron'. Facing them (right) sits the Devil enthroned, holding a trident, with a three-headed scaly monster beside him; he says: "Pour in Streams of Regal Blood Then the Charm is firm & good." Burning pamphlets feed the fire under the cauldron; they are being heaped up by Horne Tooke, from whose mouth issues a label: 'H - T. Tis time tis time tis time'. The next, stirring the contents, says "Thrice! and Twice King's Heads have fallen". The third (? Dr. Towers), [Perhaps Dr. Parr; Towers died 20 May 1799.] flourishing a broom-stick, says, "Thrice the Gallic Wolves have bayed"; he holds an open book: 'Lying Whore \ False Swearing'. Behind the wizards is a procession of the Opposition. The first three (abreast) are Bedford, Norfolk, and Lord Derby. They say respectively: "Where are they! - gone Pocketed the Church and Poorlands The Tythes next" ..."Oh fallen Sovereingty degraded Counseller" ...; "Poor joe is done No test or Corporation Acts" ... The next three are Fox, Erskine, and Tierney; they say respectively: "Where can I hide my secluded Head" ... "Ah woe is me - poor I" ... "Would I had never spoke of the Licentiousness of the Press". Behind them is Burdett, saying, "What can I report to my Friends at the Bastile" .... Behind there is an undifferentiated crowd entering the cave and headed by Thelwall holding a volume of 'Thelwalls Lectures' ... exclaiming, "Tm off to Monmouthshire". The procession is watched by a snaky monster (left). Above their heads and resting on clouds are small figures: the King, allegorically depicted, holding a serpent in each hand. Behind him are Pitt, saying, "Suspend their Bodies", (?) Grenville, (?) Windham, saying "Almighty God has been pleased to grant us a great Victory", and Kenyon, saying "Take them to the Kings Bench & Cold Bath fields" ... The divine ray is inscribed: 'Afflavit Deus et dissipantur \ Your Destruction cometh as a Whirlwind \ Vengeance is ripe.' Four winged demons fly off (right) in the smoke of the cauldron, three have collars on which their names are engraved: 'Robesp[ierre]', 'Voltaire', and 'Price'. An ape dressed as a newsboy, with 'Courier' on his cap (..., blows his horn towards the cauldron. Behind him, in the extreme right corner, is an open book: 'Analitical Review \ Fallen never to rise again.' The seditious papers which feed the fire are: 'Equali[ty]'; 'Blasphemy Sedition'; 'Sophims' [sic]; 'Heresy'; 'Atheism'; 'Resistance is Prudence'; 'Belshams History'; 'Whig Club'; 'The Vipers of Monarchy and Aristocracy will soon be strangled by the Infant Democracy' ...

Abstract:
In a room reminiscent of a magician's study, the King, dressed in a cloak as Friar Bacon (a necromancer of popular fable), evokes visions of the royal power while the brazen head speaks. Each vision is represented by a large medallion inscribed, "Constitution," and shows a different balance of power between the king and both houses of Parliament. On the left, Fox, Burke, and North, peek in through an open door, appearing alarmed. On the right, a number of men walk down the "back stairs." The first of them, carrying a conspirator's lantern and led by the devil, is Lord Temple.

"Two doctors (left) stoke the fires of a row of seven cylindrical vessels or furnaces from which their patients (half length) emerge. These recede slightly in perspective from right to left. On the extreme right is Burke ('B------e'), drooping dejectedly, and saying, "By Jasus I have got no Juice left". Next him Fox ('F--x') declaims, hat in hand, "I have sweated enough. Sheridan ('S------n') gesticulates furiously with clenched fists, saying, "This is Scandalous the Baily's have sufficiently sweated me" (executions in Sheridan's house were frequent). Next him is the Prince ('P------'), clasping his hands, and saying, "I suppose they call this a Regency Sweat". A young woman on his right, 'Mrs J------n', (? Jordan) says "I sweat with desire". Next is ('W------e') Weltje (cf. BMSat 7509), saying, "I never sweat so much at Cooking in all my Life". On the extreme left Mrs. Fitzherbert ('F--T--T'), her arms extended in a frenzy, says, "And I with Jealousy what disregard the Marriage Rights". On the ground, below their patients, are the two doctors: Willis on the extreme left, indicated by his clerical bands, holds coal on a shovel, while Dominicetti, wearing a nightcap, kneels on one knee to stir up the furnace under Sheridan with a long poker. On the right is a 'Coal Tub'. Clouds of steam rise from the baths."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A dog with the head of Sheridan is being chased out of the gate of Devonshire House by the Duke of Portland and other leading whigs. He flees 'To Carlton House', a signpost (left) pointing the way. His collar is inscribed 'G.P.', to his tail is tied a large architectural drawing of Drury Lane, showing the new front to Bridges Street added to Garrick's theatre by R. and J. Adam. The foremost of the pursuers is Portland, about to hurl a stone; Fox follows, holding out his hands pleadingly to the fugitive. Burke holds a club inscribed 'Shelaly', and clenches his fist fiercely. Next him is the short Lord Derby (left), and on the right the Duke of Norfolk. Lord Stormont holds up his hat as if to hurl it. Along the (Piccadilly) wall of Devonshire House broadsides and papers are hung up for sale."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
"The Duchess of Devonshire, carrying Fox on her back, approaches an alehouse. The host, a black man named 'Mungo', stands on his doorstep delightedly filling a glass for the Duchess; a fat disreputable slattern stands behind him. The Duchess, who supports herself by a large staff, holds a full purse in her hand, saying, 2For the good of the Constitution give me a Glass of Gin", the suggestion being that she will pay a large sum for the gin to secure a vote (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6548). Her hat with ostrich plumes and fox's brush has a favour inscribed 'Fox ForNi'. Fox, one hand resting on her shoulder, waves his hat; they are both in profile to the right. Over the doorway of the alehouse (or perhaps brothel) is inscribed 'Mungo's Hotel Dealer in British Spirits'; the woman says, "Give the poor Man a Vote my Dear he is a good Man for the Ladies". A dog beside her barks at the visitors. The gabled roofs and casement windows indicated in the background suggest that this is an old and disreputable part of Westminster, resembling Peter Street as in British Museum Satires No. 6548. The crowd, which is very freely sketched, also suggests a low neighbourhood; a man and woman walk or dance along, their arms round each other's shoulders; he flourishes a full tankard. An excited group shout and wave their hats round two tall standards: one, 'Fox and Liberty all over the world', above two crossed executioner's axes, the other, 'Rights of the Commons' and 'No Prerogative', with a cap of Liberty on the pole."--British Museum online catalogue.
