Abstract:

Charles Fox and Lord North sit on a bench, raising together a two-handled tankard in celebration of the coalition's victory. North (as Boreas) blows at the froth spilling it carelessly on a document inscribed "Westminster Petition" thus implying the new ministry's contempt for the Westminster Association's demands for parliamentary reform.
