Abstract:: Charles Fox, with a fox's head in a wig, tilts to one side a wheelbarrow in which Lord Shelburne (William Petty) lies on his back, his arms and legs uncomfortably outstretched. Above them, Lord North as Boreas among the clouds, directs a strong blast on Shelburne's face. The text below the title, "The Devil can't Stand against A Double force. Vide the Votes of H: C: on ye. 18. [i.e., 17th] of Feby 1783," refers to the first of the two votes that, following the new coalition between Fox and North, led to Shelburne's resignation on February 24, 1783
