"Fox, wearing a military cocked hat, with civilian dress, threatens Prussia (or Frederick William III) with his sabre, while he puts a foot on the sword that Prussia has dropped. The latter, a grotesque figure with a long pigtail and moustaches, kneels terrified at his feet, clasping his hands in supplication. His Death's Head Hussar cap falls from his thrown-back head; he wears a fur-trimmed cloak and tunic, with a badge of the Prussian Eagle on his sleeve, with half-boots and extravagant spurs. Fox says, with an expression of sour and calculating contempt, " - O you Prussian Marauder, you! - what I've caught you at last? - what, You took me for a double-faced-Talleyrand! did you? - did you think I was like yourself, to Look One way & Row another? - what you thought because I make Loyal Speeches now, that I must be a Turncoat? - O you Frenchified Villain! - I'll teach you to humbug & insult my poor, dear, dear Master? - & to join with such Rascals as Boney, & O'Conner!" Prussia exclaims, terrified, "indeed! indeed! indeed! I could not help it. - " Meanwhile, Napoleon, holding his sabre, and wearing feathered bicorne, with spurred jack-boots, furtively hastens up to Fox from behind, to read the open book which the latter displays to him behind his back: 'State of the Nation'.

Charles Fox, with a fox's body, speaks to his supporters, shown as geese with human heads who crowd the windows of the King's Arms Tavern and the street below. At the top of the building, Fox's arms are supported by Burke and Lord North, each with a fox's body. Among the geese are the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Robinson in the upper right window, Sam House, shouting, "Huzza," in the bottom central window, and Jeffery Dunstan, the popular 'mayor of Garrett,' standing on the roof of a coach driven by the Earl of Surrey who stands on its box. The coach and its procession converge with a procession led by a goose carrying a standard with Cromwell's portrait signed, "Fox for ever," and the Cap of Liberty on its pole

Burke falls head foremost into the water, clutching a roll inscribed 'Impeachment'. Courtenay's head wearing a hat emerges from the water; a pair of legs and hands with a floating bag-wig are identified as Sir James Erskine."--British Museum online catalogue
