- Abstract
-
William Pitt, riding a rocking horse, contemplates the locked gate to the "Treasury" in front of him. In his left hand he holds a whip inscribed, "prerogative," followed by the words, "pro me." Under his right arm is a "Royal primer" and the horse's rockers are inscribed, "despotism" and "aristocracy." A blast of foul air from his buttocks, signed, "my honor," is directed at the face of Charles Fox behind him. Pointing to the Treasury building, Fox proclaims service for the country to be his motivation
