The infant Hercules, Thomas Rowlandson

Another caricature was directed against the ex-Coalition Ministers, representing them as twin serpents whose tails ('American War' and 'East India Bill') are entwined ; the heads of Fox and North appear on the shoulders of the monster. Pitt is figured as the infant Hercules ; he has taken his seat on the 'Shield of Chatham' and has grasped the throats of the serpents, the tails of which already lopped off.
