English: Fox, the central figure, stands over the Prince of Wales and Britannia, holding a laurel wreath above the Prince s head. Britannia (left) kneels before the Prince who takes her hand, putting his right hand on his heart. She holds a document inscribed 'Magna Charta and the Bill of rights'; the British lion appears from behind her shield. Behind Britannia are Pitt and his followers caricatured; they support a board resembling that on which the Commandments were inscribed in churches. Pitt steps forward and holds out to Britannia a paper inscribed 'I Commission'. From his coat-pocket protrude papers inscribed 'Dr W--l--s [word illegible] opinion 1/2 past 5 O'c' and 'East India Pitt' [two illegible words]. He tramples on an oval portrait of Chatham. The table of the (new) law is held by Thurlow (left) and Richmond (right). Behind Thurlow are Sydney and a man with the arms of the City on his gown, holding the City mace, and wearing a fool's cap with bells (probably the Lord Mayor). With them is a nude figure of 'Rebellion', with snaky locks, shouting and holding up a firebrand. The Prince, young and slim, wears a garter inscribed 'Ich Dien'; behind him is the Duke of York. Both brothers trample on a shrieking nude figure resembling that of Rebellion. Beside them sits Justice (right), blindfolded, with her sword and scales. Thirteen Whigs stand behind the Princes, in close rank, almost all conventionally handsome and youthful and difficult to identify except Burke, whose profile appears obscurely on the extreme right. One clasps to his breast an oval portrait resembling Rockingham; he is probably Rockingham's nephew and heir Fitzwilliam. Behind them, a pendant to 'Rebellion', stands 'Liberty', holding her cap aloft. Above them flies Fame blowing a trumpet. 27 January 1789 [Date written on print, publication-line apparently cut off]
