One of England's most famous caricaturists, James Gillray, was an
immensely successful and popular artist, yet there were no accounts
of his work published in England during his lifetime. The single
contemporary source on Gillray is a series of commentaries
published in the German journal London und Paris between 1798 and
1806. Christine Banerji and Diana Donald have translated and edited
selected commentaries, with accompanying illustrations, to reveal
how Gillray's art was understood by his contemporaries. The edition
offers a unique insight into the role of satire in British politics
during the Napoleonic era and shows the subtle artistry of
Gillray's designs. The volume also includes an informative
introduction which places Gillray and his work in the context of a
fascinating episode in Anglo-German relations at the turn of the
eighteenth century.
