Dublin Core
Title
Meeting of the Monied Interest
Description
Charles James Fox stands in the center of the print, declaiming violently to his surrounding supporters. He states: “Gentlemen; -we are all ruin’d we sha’n’t have Five Guineas left to make a Bett with!-one Tenth dead, without a single throw of the Dice!-why its worse than the French Game of Requisition;-for in that there would be some chance of coming in for Snacks!” Fox, along with some of his supports wear the bonnet-rouge. Others wear the French tricolored cockade on their hats.
