The Work of James Gillray, the Caricaturist

James Gillray (1756-1815) was the leading caricaturist of the late eighteenth century, and is generally recognised as the father of the satirical cartoon. His superb draughtsmanship coupled with a biting wit has rarely been equalled.

The great entrepreneurial publisher H. G. Bohn reprinted the plates in a second edition in 1851 and it is prints from this edition that are offered for sale on this site. They have been meticulously hand- coloured using original examples as guides.
