In the centre of the design is the summit of a mountain or rocky mound on which stands the small figure of Fox, who is addressing a number of geese who stand on the rock beneath him at different levels. He points towards an oriental landscape on the left of the design: undulating ground dotted with palm-trees, and in the distance a bay in which are four ships at anchor protected by a fort, inscribed "Madras". Over this a small circular sun sheds its rays. On the extreme right of the plate appears part of the India House, inscribed "Leadenhall Street", falling into ruins. On its broken cornice is a crown.
<p><br>Beneath the design is inscribed "Then Reynard taketh them into an exceeding hihg [sic] Mountain, and Shewed them all the Kingdoms of the East and the Glory of them, Saying all these will I give ye, if ye will fall down and Worship me." 12 December 1783
