Summary:
From Charles Fox's head grow serpent-like locks of hair terminating in the heads of the members of the Coalition cabinet. Lord North's scowling face is above Fox's forehead. To the left descend the faces of Lord Stormont, Admiral Keppel full-face, and the Duke of Portland in profile, alarmed and looking at Burke on the opposite side, also shown in profile and alarmed. Above Burke's head are the heads of Sheridan, as a satyr, Lord John Cavendish, and Lord Derby. The verse below the image refer to the defeat of the Fox-North coalition and the East India Bill.
