Push on Keep Moving, 27 April 1791
Scope and Contents
Created by Richard Newton. Fox, standing in front of an archway (right) inscribed 'Office', kicks and pushes Pitt away from it. He is stout, ruffianly, and fierce, and wears a bonnet-rouge [not coloured red] with cockade; he says, "Push on keep moving Billy". Pitt (left), tall and thin, in profile to the left, runs forward, shedding tears, a large handkerchief in his right hand. He says: "Pray forgive me this once! and I'll never do so no more." Both are grotesquely caricatured. Above the design: 'May every honest man turn out a rogue.' Coloured etching. Description from the British Museum.
