Design in oval. In a ballroom, Lord North, dressed as a lady in hooped petticoats and wearing his Garter ribbon, is dancing with Charles Fox who holds his hat in his left hand. Behind them sits Lord Chancellor Thurlow playing the bagpipes while at the same time receiving a bag of money handed him by Britannia who sits next to him. Thurlow retained the chancellor's office through two administrations preceding the North-Fox coalition before he was forced by Fox to resign. The bag of money may refer to the pension he was then granted

A badger [Lord North] and a fox [Charles Fox] sit in an open hole dug in a side of a hill, facing each other and holding their right paws. The badger, with the Garter ribbon and in a bag wig, says, "The grapes which round this cavern grow in plenty / My new Friend Fox will prove to each a dainty." To which the fox responds, "Tho once I stunk you from your Hole / you now are welcome in upon my soul." A devil peeking from behind the grape vines points to both of them saying, "He he he -- he / They both are for me." A comment on the North-Fox coalition

Lord North, Charles Fox and Edmund Burke take over the "Committe [sic] Room" of the East India Company. Burke, saying, "I will direct ye," pushes and boots out the door the Directors while Fox, standing in the middle of the room, excretes on the Company's charters. The satisfied-looking North stands next to Fox, his pocket overflowing with notes for large sums of money and stock. Behind them is a long table and the vacated "President's chair." In the corner to the left stand two crates filled with coins and signed "dollars," a bag of rupees and another one containing "a lack" [i.e., lakh, or one hundred thousand]. More coins are spilled on the floor in front of them
