The gigantic figure of Fox strides across an ocean, the right foot planted on land inscribed 'East Indias', the left on land inscribed 'Loyalty'. He stands full-face, in his clenched right fist he holds out a sheaf of thunderbolts inscribed 'Defiance', his left hand rests on his hip. He wears a crown composed of playing-cards, the three principal cards being the ace of clubs, the knave of clubs, and the ace of diamonds. On the crown are also the letters 'v' and 'p'.
<p><br>On the ground at his feet minute figures are variously engaged: on the left (in the 'East Indias') a circle of orientals prostrate themselves before a sun with a face on it inscribed 'Pitt' which rises above a mountainous horizon inscribed 'Mountains of the East'; round the sun are the words 'Rising under ye', followed by a crown.
<br>On the opposite side is a scene in front of the hustings in Covent Garden. The Duchess of Devonshire, looking up at Fox, holds a number of threads attached to the noses of a crowd of electors, one of whom holds a flag inscribed 'Indept Electors'; a hat with a fox's brush is hoisted on its staff. The Duchess holds in her right hand a flag inscribed 'Woman of the People'. Behind her a butcher (inscribed 'Butcher') advances threateningly with a knife or club.
<br>Beneath the design is inscribed, 'The Materials that form'd this Image came from Holland &amp; by A number of loose principled people was Sett up &amp; Worship'd in A most Idolatrous manner this attracted that part of the people calld the Mob [as much as a preceding Image known by its bad shape &amp; squinting Phiz] Untill the Northern Apostacy!! when many returned to their Establishd Worship &amp; it's thought like other Objects its popularity will soon sink into Oblivion as its foundation is extremly Precarious and Tottering.'  28 May 1784
