Poised on the cross beam are Sidmouth and Ellenborough The former is depressing the balance with his foot whilst Ellenborough rides piggy-back on his shoulders. This lower scale contains the 'Broad-Bottomites' or New Opposition and the upper scale holds the 'No-Bottomites', the Foxites, or Old Opposition. Fox is the most prominent and is squeezed between Erskine and Grey with Moira, in a cocked hat and regimentals, stands stiffly behind. Fox and Grey have the revolutionary 'bonnets rouges' but do not wear them. The other bowl contains Grenville, one hand on his fat nephew Lord Temple and Windham waves his hat triumphantly. The scales are suspended above the curve of the globe on which Great Britain and Europe are mapped. On the distant horizon is a setting sun containing a royal crown through which the ghost of Pitt flies weeping. The setting sun's feeble rays are outshone by the heavy beams of the rising sun which are surmounted by the Prince of Wales's three feathers.
