Abstract:

A fox with the face of Charles Fox runs away from a pack of hunting dogs, foremost of which is Pitt, with the key to the Treasury hanging from his collar, with Thurlow, in a Chancellor's wig. They are followed by the dogs representing the Duke of Richmond, Henry Dundas, and Lord Nugent. Behind them, Lord Temple, in a jockey's outfit, rides on an ass with the King's face. Above, a smiling sun with Lord Shelburne's face, casts rays at the hunting party, while the upset-looking Boreas (Lord North) blasts cold air at Pitt's head to impede his progress.
