Fox's Martyrs, or The Patriots in Limbo: A Satirical View of the Aftermath of the 1784 General Election This print, titled "Fox's Martyrs, or The Patriots in Limbo," depicts a scene from the tumultuous political climate of March 1784, following the first national election in Britain. The image satirically portrays Charles James Fox and Frederick, Lord North, two prominent politicians of the time, in a hellish landscape. On the right, Lord North, the former Prime Minister, is shown hanging from a devil's pitchfork, wearing a large stone labeled "American War" around his neck. The reference to the American War signifies the blame placed on the ongoing conflict for the Whigs' loss in the recent election. In the center, Charles Fox is depicted in a contrite pose, apologizing for his actions. The Fox-North coalition, which had been a powerful force in British politics, came under attack from King George III and William Pitt the Younger. Those members of Parliament who continued to support Fox and North were derisively labeled as "Fox's Martyrs," a term borrowed from John Foxe's Book of Martyrs (1563). This satirical print lays the blame for the Whigs' defeat squarely on the American Revolution, reflecting the political tensions and shifting alliances of the time. The print is a fascinating glimpse into the complex web of British politics during this period and the role that the American Revolution played in shaping the political landscape.
