EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Stealing off; - or - prudent Secession, 1798 (Stealing off; - or - prudent Secession, pub. 1798) captures a satirical moment in the political landscape of the 18th century. This hand-coloured engraving by James Gillray depicts an anthropomorphic scene filled with caricatures and symbolism. In this humorous illustration, we witness the embarrassment and defeat of two prominent politicians, Charles Grey and Charles James Fox. The corpulent figures are portrayed as dishevelled and fleeing through a doorway, their faces etched with humiliation. They clutch documents in their hands while a snarling dog symbolizes their failed attempts to escape. The background gallery represents the House of Commons where these Whig statesmen once held power. However, they now face exile due to their political failure against William Pitt's government. Gillray's sharp wit is evident in his portrayal of these men with fangs exposed and stubble on their cheeks. This historic print from the Historica Graphica Collection showcases Gillray's mastery of political satire during this era. His detailed illustrations mockingly depict members of parliament like never before, capturing both physical features and personality traits. With its vibrant colours and intricate details, 'Stealing off; - or - prudent Secession' remains an important piece within M. A Taylor Georgian collection for its artistic value as well as its historical significance. "
