Summary:
Print shows Fox as a ragged sansculotte with bloodstained hands and a dagger dripping blood thrust in his belt, singing "Ca ira!" He capers, right hand on his hip, left hand held up, and a blast issues from his posteriors. On his forehead is a patch of sticking-plaster. He is unshaven and his body is of subhuman hairiness.
