*Gillray (James, 1757-1815). A Democrat - or - Reason & Philosophy, published H.Humphrey, 1793, etching with bright contemporary hand colouring, 340 x 235 mm, mounted, framed and glazed BM 901.647.A brutal caricature of Charles James Fox.

*Gillray (James, 1757-1815). Tiddy-Doll, The great French Gingerbread-Baker drawing out a new batch of Kings - his Man Hopping Talley mixing up the Dough, published H. Humphrey, 1806, etching with contemporary hand colouring, trimmed to neat line, 255 x 380 mm BM 10518. The three kings being taken out of the oven reflect the provisions of the Treaty of Pressburg (26 November 1805) where Austria renounced rights over Bavaria, Wurttemberg and Baden. The little dough viceroys, although untitled, represent the Whig politicians Sheridan, Fox, Moira and Derby, and are a vicious sideswipe at their policy of Appeasement. Gillray defends the English audience against the threat of Napoleon by making him look decidedly unthreatening. Standing in an apron and dwarfed by his enormous hat, Napoleon is made into a laughable figure. The caricature of Talleyrand in the background cruelly depicts his surgical shoe, wrongly placed on his left foot. (1)
