Image description

The Rockingham Ministry, including Henry James Fox, Charles, Duke of Richmond, and Edmund Burke watch as the old government falls into hell. Lord Frederick North, John, Earl of Sandwich and Lord John Germain topple over, some dragged by devils. The figure of Britannia sits to the left, declaring 'They would have ruined me if they had staid in power'. The North Ministry, in power from 1770 to 1782, had overseen a turbulent period in British history - the Falklands crisis, the American War of Independence, and the Gordon Riots.
