An air balloon inscribed, "America," floats above a group of spectators who include, on the left, a Spaniard and a Frenchman, tied together with a chain and padlock and, on the right, a Dutchman with little devils climbing out of his pocket. Between them stands Franklin. In the background, Charles Fox and Lord North dance merrily to a tune played by the devil who is identified as 'Director general.' Next to them, a number of people vomit under a heavy block inscribed, "Opression taxes," on which stands the gallows with the corpses of 'trade,' 'wealth,' and 'liberty' hanging from it. In the balloon's basket are Washington, with two faces, stretching his arms towards the ghost of Cromwell, and Silas Deane, shaking at the sight of the ghost of "John the Painter" (James Aitken). Numbered figures are identified by references above the image

Heads of the members of the new ministry stand on wig blocks in a barber's shop. The barber washes his hands in a bowl attached to a double stand with the bewildered looking head of Lord North and the happily smiling one of Charles Fox on it. Behind them stand blocks with the heads of the Duke of Portland, Lords Cavendish, Stormont (David Murray), Carlisle, and Admiral Keppel. Samuel House, a well known Fox supporter, and a plebeian politician, is seated, with his tankard in his hand, in a chair placed next to Keppel's head. The head of Burke behind him wears an unhappy expression, perhaps at the distance between him and the other cabinet members. Behind the barber on the floor lie the discarded heads of former ministers, the Duke of Grafton, Lord Shelburne, and Dundas. Above on the wall are mirror images of Charles I and Cromwell, ready to embrace each other. "A new Map of Great Britain and Ireland" above the fireplace is torn between Ireland and the British Isle on which the name 'England' is conspicously absent below Scotland and Wales
