North  seated  in  a circular wash-tub, which froths with lather; he is surrounded by angry women. On the extreme left the head and fore-paws of a fox (Charles Fox) appear, he is saying, "Give him Pearl ash ha ha ha". A woman (left) in profile to the right, looks towards him clenching her fists; she is smoking a short pipe and carries a large basket on her head, a knife hangs from her waist, she is probably a Billingsgate fish-wife. A short woman wearing a hat stands behind him, she applies a scrubbing-brush to his shoulder and says, "Salt the Scoundrel".  Next her on the right another woman pours soap-suds on his head from a ladle or dipper, saying "Lather him he has taxt Soap". A fourth woman (right) holds out an open snuffbox towards him, saying, "Snuff his Eyes out". On the extreme left stands the devil, with horns, hoofs, and a tail, holding a trident; he says, "I'll Contract for him." North is saying "Da-n that Fox". Beneath the design is engraved: 
<p><br><br>"For taxing of Salt Tobacco and Soap, 
<br>Some say that Lord North is deserving a Rope. 
<br>His Lordship you see he his now in a Tub, 
<br>While the old woman lathers &amp; give him a Scrub."   27 March 1782
