- Abstract
-
Two quack doctors address the crowd from raised platforms with the help of their zanies. On the left, Dr. Pittardo (Pitt) is aided by the Duke of Richmond, and George Rose, the new Secretary of the Treasury. On the right, Dr. Renardo (Fox) is helped by Burke holding an address "To the independent electors of West[minster]" and Lord North distributing "motion pills for members." In the crowd below Fox's stage is his staunch supporter, Sam House ("an MT house"). Two of the buildings in the background are inscribed, "India House" and "St. Stephens" [i.e., The House of Commons].
