Edmund Burke leads an elephant, on which is seated Charles James Fox dressed as a turbanned prince, down Leadenhall Street to the India Office. At his side is a flag with "The Man of the People" crossed out or erased and "BAΣIVEVS BAΣIΛEΩN" (king of kings) written above. The elelphant has the face of Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford.

A crow on the chimney of the building to the left is annotated with the text:

The Night Crow cried foreboding luckless Time.
                                                                             Shakespeare

The caricature is a satire on Fox's India Bill.
