- Abstract
-
Charles Fox, with a fox's head and tail and an expression of delight, holds open the top of a large sack almost completely filled with coins. Opposite him, Lord North, standing on a substantially diminished pile of coins, carefully adds another shovelful to the sack. The sack is signed, "For private use." Behind them on the wall, under the ribbon signed, "For the use of the publick," several smaller empty sacks hang on a rope stretched between large pegs. Under the title is a verse, "Two virtuous Elves, / Taking care of themselves."
