James Gillray

James Gillray is the genius of early popular satire in Britain. His public savaging of monarchy, politicians ‘polite society’ and church was unprecedented. Even today, when there are few no-go areas for the media, Gillray’s satire retains its ability to shock. He lived in an era that saw the loss of the American colonies, Revolution and the subsequent Reign of Terror in France, the period also encompassed the movement to abolish slavery, and a monarch who lost his sanity – as did Gillray later in life himself.
