Lord Thurlow depicted as a schoolmaster is seated on the left. He wears an enormous wig, and holds in his left hand the book "A new guide to India" and in his right a birch rod. Facing him stands Pitt dressed as a young girl, with a key (to the Treasury) hanging from her belt. On the wall behind them hangs a portait of the King labelled "a great Whig", a bust of Fox labelled "a true Whig" on top of a bookcase containing Newbery's Works, and a map with the face of Shelburne titled "a false Whig." The "h" in the first word of the title is inserted above the "i".
