"North (left) in the guise of a badger, runs off leaving a little cave under a rock. Charles Fox as a fox (right) snarls at him, while he excretes a stream inscribed "Eloquence". The badger is identified as North by a ribbon tied round his body, and by the four points of the compass in a circle on his head, his snout being inscribed "North". The fox stands over a bag inscribed "Faro Bank" from which guineas are pouring, playing-cards are strewn on the ground at his feet. In the foreground is a small bundle inscribed "Budget" within which are bars inscribed "Soap" and a small barrel inscribed "Small Beer" in allusion to the taxes proposed by North in his budget speech of 11 Mar. Behind the badger is a sign-post, the two arms of which terminate in well-drawn hands. The hand of the arm pointing left, in the direction to which North is running, holds the head of a halberd, the arm is inscribed "To Tower Hill". The other arm points downwards at the cave which the badger has left, and is inscribed "To the Treasury". Behind Fox is a terminal statue inscribed "Janus", one head being that of a bearded old man, the other that of a fox, it is crowned by a cylindrical headdress (?a dice-box) on which are two dice. The scene is a wooded landscape with hills. In the distance a hunt is in progress, a stag pursued by dogs; the foremost rider is the king, a minute figure who is falling from his horse after having leapt a gate. His crown falls from his head, his saddle, with the stirrups flying, is falling to the ground."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Ladies and gentlemen seated in a semicircle, while a footman holds a circular tray on which are tea-cups, &c. In the foreground a man sits (centre) his bag-wig hanging over the back of his chair facing the semicircle. On the extreme left a man sits stiffly, hat under his right arm, tea-cup in his left hand; next is an elderly and ugly woman, holding a fan; then a stout man seated uncomfortably on the edge of his chair. Then a lean and ugly old woman sitting very upright, with a fan. In the centre of the circle, full face, holding a tea-cup in both hands and looking downwards, is a lady with enormously wide petticoats, who appears to be the hostess. Next stands the footman, who is glaring with scorn at a French manservant who stands behind the guests on the left holding a plate of bread and butter. The remaining guests are in a group on the right. A stout and ugly man, in profile to the left, stretches out his hand, either in gesticulation, or to take a cup of tea from the tray. Next him is a plainly dressed man with an enormous wig who is laughing and looking through a single eye-glass. These two are the only guests who show the slightest animation, the others sitting rigidly silent. On the extreme right sits a young lady of pleasing appearance, in profile to the left, looking down demurely at her fan. Behind her (right) appears the head of a good-looking young man, whose arm rests on the back of her chair. Two oval pictures are indicated on the back wall the room."--British Museum online catalogue
