- Abstract
-
"Fox, scarcely caricatured, stands before the door of the Treasury (right), which is closed with an enormous padlock. He looks to the left, holding a dagger in his right hand, the key of the padlock in his left. Beside him (right) is his watchdog, with the head of North, his star attached to his collar. In the background (left) is a wall, perhaps the wall of the Privy Garden, in front of some buildings. Ballads for sale (or placards) are strung along the wall, a man sits beside them, three others stand on the pavement."--British Museum online catalogue
