Notes
The name in the publication line, "J. Notice", is found on some satires dating from 1784; "Dorothy George (index) suggests this is a pseudonym, and this is most probably correct. The plates all seem to be by the same distinctive hand." Cf. British Museum online catalog.

Summary
Through a grated window in the stone wall of a dungeon looks the disconsolate face of Fox; beneath the window is inscribed 'Pray Remember the Poor Debters'. Burke (right), walking in profile, approaches from the right, holding in both hands a bag inscribed 'Broken Victuals'. He has a distressed expression, saying, "Her Grace is very good to him I think - well tis an œeconeical [sic] situation". In the centre of the design is the low door of the prison, studded with nails and fastened by a chain and huge padlock. Cf. British Museum online catalog.
