Le Diable-Boiteux, or The Devil upon Two Sticks Conveying John Bull to the Land of Promise
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking print that takes us back to 1806. Created by James Gillray and published by Hannah Humphrey, this hand-coloured etching offers a satirical commentary on the political climate of its time. In this whimsical scene, we see Charles James Fox transformed into a demon with wings, carrying John Bull towards an uncertain destination. Lord Addington Sidmouth clings onto Fox's demonic form for dear life as they soar through the cloudy skies. The image is rich in symbolism, depicting various elements such as chastity crutches, lovers embracing amidst political satire, and even liberty depicted as gambling. Gillray's masterful use of caricature highlights the absurdities and vices prevalent in society during this era. With London's cityscape below them and St Paul's Cathedral in view, it becomes clear that no aspect of Georgian society is immune from his critical eye. This print serves as both entertainment and social critique, inviting viewers to reflect on themes such as temperance, virtue, liberty versus tyranny, and the consequences of unchecked power. Through clever visual storytelling and intricate details like cloven hooves and a cape of liberty fluttering in flight, Gillray challenges us to question our own beliefs while providing a window into historical events.
