"Fox (right), a hairy French ruffian, lunges fiercely forward, to aim a pistol inscribed 'La Mort' point-blank at a target symbolizing the British constitution (see BMSat 8287, &c). In his left hand he holds behind him a dagger, its blade inscribed 'Fraternite'. He is coatless and wears a French cocked hat inscribed 'Liberte', with a tricolour cockade. A miniature bonnet-rouge inscribed 'Egalite' hangs from the lapel of his waistcoat. From one pocket hangs a paper: '2 7bre Certificat de Civisme'; from another: 'Delenda . . . Carth[ago]'. His shirt-sleeves are rolled, the right sleeve in tatters, his breeches torn and unbuttoned at the knee, his stockings hang in festoons round his ankles. The target hangs by a ribbon from the gnarled branch of an old oak (left), the bull's-eye is the crown, the inner ring is inscribed 'Lords', the outer 'Commons'. There is a landscape background."--British Museum online catalogue
