Fox, with a fox's head, stands (right) in profile to the left holding out his arms towards a goose which is flying away. He is saying, "Oh, I fear I have now lost the Goose for ever". On the ground at his feet is a large placard : "Advertisement. Just fled from the Arms of Mr Reynard, St James's, a Goose, remarkable for laying golden Eggs. Whosoever can return the Goose to the distressed looser shall receive for their kindness a large golden Egg. N.B. She cannot be found in the North, she took wing direct from that point". 1 January 1784.
