Abstract:

Bust portrait of Fox in an oval frame, head turned left. Below the portrait, bordered by a draped cloth is a scene -- a representation of the opposition and a hostile account of Fox and the Holland family, in front of Westminster Hall. In the center of the scene, a statue of a headless king holding an orb stands on a rectangular pedestal inscribed with the words "Magna carta". A satyr (left) is breaking the sceptre across his knee, the king's head on the ground beside him. A man with ass's ears raises a pickaxt to strike the pedestal. To the right of the statue a dishevelled woman holds the staff and cap of liberty. Another man (popular rage) with a raised club is about to strike the statute.
