Abstract:

Lord North and Charles Fox stand bound together by a ribbon signed "Tie of interest" looped around their necks. North holds in his left hand a sheet of paper with the popular ballad, "Vicar of Bray," while Fox points to the list of his own "Debts of honour" (gambling debts). Playing cards and dice spread on the table are partially covered by the "Plan for disarming the I__h V____rs" (Irish Volunteers). A large sack inscribed "Budget" lies on the floor. Behind North hangs an oval bust portrait of him dressed as a cleric and inscribed "Vicar of Bray." Behind Fox is a similar portrait of him with a rope on his neck inscribed "Sergius Cataline." Above are three paintings showing, from left to right, two men hanging from a gibbet with the executioner's cart pulling away, the "State Vessel" blown down the "Stream of Corruption" by "Boreas" [North], and a fox running away with a goose in his mouth.
