Monochrome satirical print (etching) of Edmund Burke orating on a theatre stage, descending into a trap, before a bust of a shining Warren Hastings, the charges against whom are going up in smoke in a cauldron. Features a pair of wig spectacles on Burke and a large quizzing glass in the hand of Charles James Fox. In a modern traditional-style black wooden frame with corner shell decorations, glazed.
