EDITORS COMMENTS
The print "Stealing Off, or Prudent Secesion" by James Gillray is a captivating piece of political satire from 1798. Measuring 25.7x36.2 cm, this hand-coloured etching with aquatint showcases the artist's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects. In the foreground, we see Charles James Fox, a prominent statesman who temporarily exiled himself from the House of Commons as an act of protest. His disheveled appearance and defeated expression convey his sense of humiliation and failure. Meanwhile, Charles Grey, known as the opposition greyhound, stands nearby with a snarling dog at his side. The opposition members are depicted eating their own words in a symbolic gesture of defeat. On the other side of the image, William Pitt declares a list of triumphs while standing next to an anthropomorphic pig with the head of a man. This clever portrayal mocks Pitt's government and suggests that he is nothing more than an arrogant figurehead. The composition is filled with details that add depth to this satirical scene - letters scattered on the floor symbolize chaos and fleeing politicians can be seen through an open doorway in the background. Overall, "Stealing Off" offers viewers a glimpse into Georgian politics through Gillray's sharp wit and artistic skill. It serves as both entertainment and commentary on power dynamics within British society during this time period.
