Charles James Fox, brandishing a whip, is depicted riding the old White Horse of Hanover into a ravine, with the words "Aut Cromwell aut nihil...", a saddle bag labelled "enjoyments" before him, and a basket behind, labelled "hopes and expectations" which contains George III's head on a pike, a crown pierced by a sword, and a torn Magna Carta. Refers to Fox's alleged sympathies with French and Spanish interests
