Image description

George Canning, newly appointed Foreign Secretary, appears as Phaeton riding in his chariot across the heavens, pulled by horses with the faces of fellow cabinet ministers. Canning is shown attacked by the Opposition, who appear as constellations and signs of the zodiac. He attempts negotiate his way through the skies of partisan opposition; represented as the heir of William Pitt (1759-1806); Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) riding a bear; Charles James Fox (1749-1806) appears as Pluto in the lower right corner, while in the lower left, the ghost of Pitt, in the guise of Apollo, weeps as he sees his son Phaeton under attack.
