Print shows Pitt stands in profile to the right, right hand extended, left hand resting on the table of the House of Commons, on which are books, &c. He says, "If there is a Fundamental deficiency why call for Papers?" The title and phrase (used by Pitt in debate) express the exaggerated attenuation of Pitt below the waist. He wears court-dress with a sword.
