Abstract:

Lord North, fully clothed, sits in a washtub surrounded by scrub women or fish-wives, one of whom scrubs him with a brush, while another ladles soapy water over him. A fox (Charles James Fox) observes the scene from the extreme left, while the Devil stands holding a trident on the right. A response to North's unpopular increase in the duty on soap.
