- Abstract
-
"A companion print to BMSat 6790. Fox in the foreground (right) leans back disconsolately in a low chair; in his right hand is an empty purse, in the left 'Pitts Speech'. Beside him in his upturned hat are a dice-box and dice. On the left Burke, stripped to the waist, kneels before his three-legged stool on which is propped an open book inscribed 'Reform'; he is flagellating himself with a birch-rod held in his right hand, and a rosary attached to a cross in his left. Behind, as if seen in a camera obscura or through a window, North is embracing a young woman wearing tattered garments; above their heads is the view of an avenue inscribed 'St James's Park'."--British Museum online catalogue.
