     James Gillray (1756-1815):

James Gillray (13 August 1756 or 1757 - 1 June 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, prime ministers and generals. [4] William Hogarth, Gillray's wit and humor, knowledge of life, fertility of resource, keen sense of the ludicrous, and beauty of execution, at the first place among caricaturists.
During the French Revolution, Gillray took a conservative stance; and he issued caricature after caricature ridiculing the French and Napoleon (usually using Jacobin), and glorifying John Bull. A number of these were published in the Anti-Jacobin Review. He is not, however, to be thought of as a political adherent of the Whig or the Tory party; his caricatures satirized members of the political spectrum.
