"Pitt stands in profile to the right, right hand extended, left hand resting on the table of the House of Commons, on which are books, &c. He says, "If there is a Fundamental deficiency why call for Papers?" The title and phrase (used by Pitt in debate) express the exaggerated attenuation of Pitt below the waist. He wears court-dress with a sword. The print is said to give a realistic impression of Pitt in debate. Cf. BMSat 8097."--British Museum online catalogue

"Dr. James Graham, the famous quack, stands on a small platform or pedestal, addressing an audience of both sexes who sit and stand in front of him. He stands rather to the right of the design looking left, his right hand raised, his left holding a rolled paper as in British Museum satire no. 6324. He wears a bag-wig and ruffled shirt. Those of the audience whose faces are visible are probably portraits, but only Fox, Wilkes, and (?) Perdita Robinson can be identified. Three persons sit on a raised seat immediately under the lecturer and with their backs towards him: a young man puts his arm round a lady who draws back with a coy expression; the third is Fox who sits gloomily impassive, his head supported on his hand, perhaps annoyed at the way in which Mrs. Robinson looks towards the man standing next her, who stands on the extreme right in profile to the left. He is slim and wears the fashionable riding-dress but is very ugly. Two rows of people sit on forms facing the lecturer. Others stand on the left. Wilkes is in profile to the right, an elderly beau with receding hair, sunken eyes, and broken teeth."--British Museum online catalogue

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

Two quack doctors address the crowd from raised platforms with the help of their zanies. On the left, Dr. Pittardo (Pitt) is aided by the Duke of Richmond, and George Rose, the new Secretary of the Treasury. On the right, Dr. Renardo (Fox) is helped by Burke holding an address "To the independent electors of West[minster]" and Lord North distributing "motion pills for members." In the crowd below Fox's stage is his staunch supporter, Sam House ("an MT house"). Two of the buildings in the background are inscribed, "India House" and "St. Stephens" [i.e., The House of Commons].
