There's more ways than one, James Gillray, 1788

A fox (fox) climbs up a signpost from which hangs the sign of the crown. The gibbet-shaped post is wreathed with a vine with large bunches of grapes. Fox seizes a branch and gapes greedily for a bunch just within his reach. His left leg is supported on a pile of papers, one bundle of which is inscribed 'libels'. The topmost paper is an open book: 'review of the charges against warren hasting[s] publishd by stockdale'. In the doorway of the crown inn (right) stands pitt, grotesquely thin except for his head; he wears an apron over the legs of a skeleton. Alarmed at the fox, he drops a tankard of beer on which is a crown. Behind him appears thurlow, in chancellor's wig and gown, with an expression of gloomy apprehension. 18 february 1788 etching. Date: 1788. Dimensions: Height: 245 mm; Width: 240 mm. Medium: paper. Depicted People: Charles James Fox. Collection: British Museum. There's more ways than one (BM 1868,0808.5684)
