Satire on the fear of French invasion, 1794-1805. (British political cartoon); Charles James Fox, half-naked and wearing the skin of a fox, bestrides the Channel, one foot in France beside a tricolour flag, the other in England. In one hand he brandishes a club; in the other he holds strings pulling the French fleet across the Channel.
