A booth inscribed 'The Only Booth in the Fair' stands on a platform round which are the heads and shoulders of gaping yokels. Fox stands in the centre, full-face, dressed as a zany in (tricolour) striped tunic and trousers. He displays a large painting of a grotesque and ferocious figure, above which is inscribed: 'To be seen here alive \ The Noted \ Boney-Part \ from Egypt \ an Undoubted Likeness'. 'Boney' holds a dagger in each hand. He wears bonnet-rouge and jackboots with huge spurs; the right ankle is chained to a tree-stump. Fox weeps, saying, "he is certainly taken I never was so pleased at any event in the whole course of my Life". Pitt sits on a chair, his back towards Fox, leaning towards the spectators on the right of the platform holding out a trumpet to which is attached a fringed banner decorated with the heads, in consultation, of George III, Dundas [actually John Bull], and himself, with the inscription 'John Bull Humbug'd'. He is grotesquely thin, one gouty leg rests on a stool (cf. BMSat 9226); he says: "Believe me I do not mean to decieve you this time, he is really taken, and in this Booth at this present moment - Out with your pence good people - dont be so shy - tumble up Mr Bull - the only Booth in the Fair! dont be alarm'd - he is perfectly tame I assure you". Behind Fox and Pitt is the booth, a curtain over the door, into which a fat yokel is pushing his way. On the platform (left) is a salt-box, with a baton in it, instrument of rough music, inscribed 'CIF' [C. J. Fox].  13 August 1798
