Notes:: Charles James Fox kneels in front of an altar (at right) with his palms together, as if praying. From his pocket projects a book labeled "New Constitut[ion]." The altar displays several symbols of the French Revolution and is draped with a green cloth on which crossed daggers are embroidered. A guillotine dripping blood is on the table. Hanging from the guillotine by a tri-color sash are tablets resembling those of the Ten Commandments, but labeled "Droit de l'homme" and listing rights that are in direct conflict with the Ten Commandments, i.e. "VI. Right to kill" and "VIII. Right to plunder." Three posts on rectangular pedestals sit on the altar in front of the guillotine. The center post holds a bonnet rouge (red cap) labeled "Egalité" and a skull and crossbones. To the left is a post holding a bust labeled "Robertspeire" with two bleeding feet nailed below. To the right is a post holding a bust labeled "Buonaparte." From the upper left corner of the design a shaft of light surrounded by clouds descends towards Fox, in which float the heads (with wings) of six members of the Opposition, all wearing bonnets-rouges and looking towards the "Droit de l'Homme" tablets.; Printmaker and publication date from George.
