Charles Fox is shown making opposing statements depending on his audience or situation. In the first pair of images he proclaims his opposition to any additional taxes in front of a cheering crowd that includes Sam House, the Wardour Street publican and Fox's staunch supporter in the Westminster elections, and the Duchess of Devonshire, while in the corresponding image he encourages Lord Cavendish to increase taxation. In the second set of images he speaks both for and against the war for American independence. In the last set he assures Lord North of his sincere friendship only to deny it in the last image

William Petty, Lord Shelburne, invites two gentlemen into a room to see "A pantomimical performance now exhibiting in the cabinet at St. Ja--ss [i.e., St. James's]." On a platform in front of them, Punch with the face of the Duke of Portland performs moves controlled by Lord North and Charles Fox who, from behind a screen in the back, pull strings attached to Punch's toes. A devil points at Portland while a demonic looking cherub with horns playing a trumpet. On the ledge above the entrance is a bust of George III who looks complacently at an image nailed to the wall in which Lord North is dancing with a fox and an Harlequin

George III, submerged in water, his head and hands raised in supplication above the waves, is being pulled out by four men standing in "Victory's Boat." They are, from left to right, Admiral Keppel, Lord Shelburne, John Dunning, and the Duke of Richmond. A "Diving Bell" with a head of a judge, possibly Thurlow, is attached to the boat by another rope. Watching from the shore are Charles James Fox, with a fox's head, and Edmund Burke. Fox comments that "As maligrida [Shelburne] now does reign / all their labour is in vain," to which Burke adds, "if boreas was here he would much swell / and prevent the efects of the Diving Bell." 'Boreas,' the fictitious designer of this print is Lord North. The printmaker Twitcher is Lord Sandwich. The title alludes to the loss of the warship "Royal George" during repairs in Portsmouth in 1782

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
