Charles Fox, dressed as a nurse, stands in front of a brick house, indicating an empty cradle with a label, "Reynard state cradle wrocker." Lord North, also in nurse's clothes, leans out the window above the entrance holding out a dirty diaper. On the wall to his left is pasted advertisement for employment the "nurses" seek, referring both the the defeat of Fox-North Coalition and Fox's close association with the Prince of Wales

Behind the bar of the "Pro bono publico" stand Charles Fox and Lord North, advertising their mixture. Several displeased customers sitting at tables in front of the bar complain about the punch's appalling quality and "The interior of a punch-house. In an alcove or bar (right), behind a counter, stand North and Fox mixing punch. Over the alcove is inscribed "Pro bono Publico | The Coalition Punch-house by Charles & Co." North (left) holds a kettle in his right hand, in his left a ladle with which he mixes the contents of the bowl. He says, "Gentlemen I can supply you with accid having had 6 or 7 years constant practice in making of it for 3 kingdoms & 13 provinces". Fox (right), his right hand resting on a wine-bottle, his left outstretched, says "Gentlemen tho' I have enlarged my connections I can still serve you with good Liquor & give you Good Words as usual & if that wont please you may go & be Dm---d". Each has an expression of anxiety mixed with defiance, anxiety the more prominent in North, defiance in Fox. The guests sit on low benches in front of narrow tables, their backs to the punch-makers. Immediately in front of the bar sits a stout man in a bob-wig holding up his bowl and saying, "Coalition Punch do you call it? Phow! tis nauseous as Salts or Jalap". Next him (right) is a tall, thin military officer, wearing a cockaded hat and epaulettes and holding a tasselled cane. He holds a bowl in his left hand, saying, "Aye Friend they that drink it must take it down at a Gulph". Three men sit at a table on the left: a roistering buck wearing the fashionable riding-dress of the day, a favour in his hat, stands up, legs astride, holding out a bowl in his right hand, the contents spilling, he says, "Right sort Charley Damme!" Next him a man with a melancholy expression leans his elbows on the table, supporting his head in his hands and saying "You may say poisonous indeed for it has thrown the whole Nation in a fermentation & by the addition of that cursed C° he will loose all his good old Customers". Next him, and on the extreme left, a trim-looking citizen smoking a long pipe, his bowl on the table, says "When Charles was on his own bottom, he sold wholesome tipple, but now C° is added to his name we get a poisonous Compound.""--British Museum online catalogue

Perched atop the uppermost windmill sail are Charles Fox and Lord North, the latter prevented from falling down by Fox's helping hand. Holding on to their legs in front of the sail hangs Burke. To the left, Lord Thurlow, in judge's robes, is about to loose his grip on the descending sail and thus follow Lord Shelburne who is about to hit the ground with his head. The rising sail on the right is occupied by several pro-coalition politicians. Others are trying to climb the sail currently at the ground level. Dundas, Sheridan and Pitt inspect the condition of the beams supporting the windmill. Pitt concludes that it "is rotten & half the corn is devoured by lurking vermin."

"Dissenters are engaged in burning churches and attacking the clergy. In the foreground a stout bishop on his knees is being kicked and assailed by men with bludgeons; beside him is a book: 'Refutation of Dr Price'. He exclaims, raising his hands, "Murder, fire, thieves". One of his assailants says, "Make room for the Apostle of Liberty"; the other, "God assisting us nothing is to be feared". Under this group is inscribed: 'And when they had smote the Shepherd, the Sheep were scattered'. Behind (right) a Gothic building, from which extends a sign of the Mitre and Crown, is being demolished. Price sits astride on the beam supporting the sign; in one hand is an open book, 'Love of our Country', in the other is a firebrand inscribed 'The Flame of Liberty'. Beneath, two men in steeple-crowned hats are feeding a fire with faggots, whose flame and smoke, inscribed '39 Articles', ascends in a thick cloud. Next the burning building, and on the extreme right, is a porch (over a doorway) in which stands Fox, blowing a horn and pointing down to a placard over the doorway: 'Places under Government to be disposed of. NB, Several Faro and E.O. Tables in good Condition'. An adjacent placard is: 'day next charity sermon by Revd chas Fox'. A group of eager fanatics with lank hair rushes towards the doorway, holding up to Fox money-bags inscribed '30.000', '10.000' and '20.000.' In the foreground (right) are two fanatics struggling for the bag of the Great Seal; one raises a mace inscribed 'Brotherly Love' to strike his opponent; under his foot is a paper: 'Repeal of the Test Act'. In the background (left) is a group of figures engaged in demolishing a church with pickaxes; a rope pulls over the cross on the steeple. Two of this group look towards Price: a parson inscribed 'P------ly' (Priestley) waves his hat, saying, "Make haste to pull down that old Whore and we'll build a new one in its place"; a lean man, fashionably dressed (evidently Stanhope), extends his arms, saying, "Address to Assemblee national"."--British Museum online catalogue

A satire on governmental policy towards America. Depicts the Earl of Bute on the left and Earl of Mansfield with Lord North on the right dancing around a tall thistle which is draped with a Garter ribbon emblazoned with the motto "Honi soit qui mal y pense" having above it, at the center of a halo of light, the motto "Carduus benedictus." A devil hovers above the scene playing bagpipes. Mansfield holds a copy of the Quebec Bill, with a banner beneath him proclaiming "Nemo me impune lacessit". The banner beneath Bute is labelled "Noli me tangere."
