"The interior of a barber's shop. Fox, with a bald head, stands looking towards the barber (left), who holds up a plain wig with a single curl at the back, saying: "No fit you Zir, perhaps you got de Paine in you Head, make you tink so, dis Vigg vill fit any Loyal subject give but an Eye to it sir as I hold it -" Behind him, looking through the door and on the extreme right, is Burke wearing a neat wig. Fox is out at elbows and wears an apron. A dog tugs at his shoe. Above the barber's head is a shelf for wig-boxes inscribed 'By the King's Patent'. Wigs and tresses of hair hang in a curved shop-window behind Fox with inscriptions (reversed) in three panes: 'Essence of Lemon', 'A Separate appartment to dress in', 'Violet Soap'. On the left is a row of wig-blocks: busts with heads (some caricatured); a lady and three men."--British Museum catalogue

In a cave with Westminster Bridge visible in the background at left, three witches stand around their cauldron, from which flames ascend, together with the heads of Fox, North, and Burke. The witches add other ingredients to the cauldron, including a paper marked rebellion, while one hag opens a sack from which emerge Thomas Erskine, and John Lee in the shape of a snake. An attack on the Coalition and the India Bill. Initials FN in lower right of image probably refer to Fox-North coalition

A dog with the heads of Lord North, Charles Fox, and Edmund Burke stands guard in front of a gate inscribed, "Portland" and probably representing the Treasury. The dog's "Coalition" collar is secured with an "Interest" padlock and decorated with the Prince of Wales's feathers. The inscription on its tail refers to a bag of euphorbium thrown in Fox's face by an opponent. Above the gate, Cromwell's face makes the central keystone in the arch. It is flanked by two axes and two masks with devil's horns: the smiling one is Lord Derby; the scowling one Admiral Keppel

"Fox stands full face, his arms extended; these arms are the branches of a tree, and his body is its trunk. The two branches fork into the boughs of a weeping-willow, whose foliage forms an arch above Fox's head, and hangs nearly to the ground. Tears fall from his eyes and pour in a stream down the trunk of the tree, forming a pool at its feet."--British Museum online catalogue

"Hastings, in oriental dress, rides (right to left) a camel. He and the camel look down with dignified contempt at Burke (left), who fires a blunderbuss point-blank at the 'Shield of Honour' on Hastings's left arm. On the shield is a crown. Behind Hastings are Fox and North (right): Fox raises a dagger with burlesqued gestures and an expression of frenzied rage; North, very short and fat, clutches one of the bags behind Hastings inscribed 'Lacks Rupees added to the Revenue'; this is tied to another inscribed 'Rupees Do'. The three assailants are much caricatured and all wear armour; Burke, grotesquely thin and like some malignant insect, wears a Jesuit's biretta (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6026). He somewhat resembles the Don Quixote of British Museum Satires No. 7678, &c, cf. also British Museum Satires No. 7158; a wallet of 'Charges' is slung across his shoulder, bare feet project from the greaves which cover his legs. North wears his Garter ribbon over his armour, with a feathered helmet and top-boots. The point of a large sabre with a damaged blade projects through the tattered scabbard which is inscribed 'American Subjugation'. Fox wears the cloak of a conspirator over his armour (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6389, &c). Hastings (not caricatured) wears a jewelled turban, floating draperies, trousers, and slippers; his camel is heavily draped. On its back are bags, inscribed 'Saved to the Company' and 'Eastern Gems for the British Crown', with a rolled map, 'Territories acquired by W. Hastings'. The background is a mountainous landscape."--British Museum online catalogue
