EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Election Troops bringing in their accounts to the Pay Table, 1788" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by James Gillray, a renowned artist of his time, this print offers a satirical portrayal of soldiers during an election period. The scene unfolds at the Pay Table, where troops are seen locked and barred behind gates. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, they stand as a formidable presence amidst a chaotic mob. The artist's keen eye for detail captures the intensity of the situation as soldiers bring in their accounts for scrutiny. Gillray's clever use of satire is evident throughout this artwork. By depicting uniformed troops within such an unconventional context, he comments on the influence and power wielded by these individuals during elections. The crowded atmosphere further emphasizes the significance placed on financial matters during this time. Published by Hannah Humphrey in 1788, this engraving serves as both historical documentation and social commentary. It sheds light on political practices prevalent during that era while offering viewers an opportunity to reflect upon how power dynamics have evolved over time. Courtesy of the Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford, we are fortunate to witness Gillray's artistic brilliance preserved through generations. This print stands as a testament to his ability to capture complex narratives with wit and precision—a true masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences today.
