Abstract: Charles Fox, dressed as an Oriental prince, rides on top of an elephant depicted with Lord North's anxious-looking face. On his side to the left is a banner with "king of kings" written in Greek and "The man of the people" in English but crossed out to make it illegible. The elephant is led by Burke dressed in the Oriental fashion and blowing a trumpet. From the trumpet is suspended a fringed map of Bengal
