Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of political and humorous caricatures by James Gillray, an eminent English caricaturist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Gillray's works offer a unique and insightful perspective on the major political and social issues of his time, capturing the personalities and events that shaped the era. Through his satirical art, he lampooned prominent figures such as King George III, Queen Charlotte, and Prime Minister William Pitt, providing a sharp critique of the political landscape. The book also includes caricatures that depict the social customs and manners of the upper classes, offering a glimpse into the lives and preoccupations of the British elite. Gillray's caricatures remain a valuable historical record, providing a unique and entertaining commentary on the social and political climate of Georgian England.
