James Gillray

[[Charles Turner (engraver)|Charles Turner]], ''James Gillray'', 1819, mezzotint after Gillray's self-portrait, [[National Portrait Gallery, London|National Portrait Gallery]], [[London]] James Gillray (13 August 1756 1June 1815) was a British caricaturist and printmaker famous for his etched political and social satires, mainly published between 1792 and 1810. Many of his works are held at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Gillray has been called "the father of the political cartoon", with his works satirizing George III, Napoleon, prime ministers and generals. Regarded as one of the two most influential cartoonists, the other being William Hogarth, Gillray's wit and humour, knowledge of life, fertility of resource, keen sense of the ludicrous, and beauty of execution, at once gave him the first place among caricaturists.
