Summary

Cartoon shows a Native, representing America, with a flag and liberty cap, rushing to the arms of Britannia, who holds a shield inscribed "George for Ever." A Spaniard and a Frenchman combine efforts to pull America away from England's embrace. Holland watches from a vantage point atop a barrel of herring, while Charles James Fox, recently appointed secretary of state for foreign affairs, points out the actions of England's enemies to the lord of the admiralty, Keppel, standing to the right.
