Abstract:
"Gamblers seated and standing round an E.O. table. The table is octagon-shaped, the circular roulette mechanism being sunk in its centre, surrounded with the letters E.O. for even and odd. In the foreground (right), in profile to the left, a man leans back in his chair asleep, an empty purse on the table beside him; he resembles Captain Topham. The others are probably also portraits, but are more caricatured; they watch the table with gestures and expressions of anxiety and despair. There are fourteen figures."--British Museum online catalogue, description of lettered state.

On the top of a hill, Lord Shelburne (William Petty) stands leaning against a gallows, his hands crossed at the wrists and eyes downcast. In front of him are Charles Fox and Lord North, their left hands joined. North's right hand reposes reassuringly on Fox's left shoulder. Fox points to Shelburne behind him with his right thumb. All three have beards characterizing them as Jews. The text below the design reads, "And Herod and Pilate were made Friends together that same Day; for before they were Enemies one to another. Luke. Cap 23, Ver 12."
