EDITORS COMMENTS
James Gillray's satirical masterpiece, "Cartoon, Le Cochon et ses deux petits," or "Rich Pickings for a Noble Appetite," was published in London in 1792, during the extravagant and decadent 1790s. This biting caricature targets Charles Howard, the 11th Duke of Norfolk, who was known for his excessive wealth and indulgent lifestyle. The cartoon depicts the Duke reclining on a large bed, surrounded by two voluptuous women, symbolizing his insatiable appetite for luxury and pleasure. The Duke, portrayed as a grotesquely obese pig, is shown feasting on a platter of roast swan, while the women, labeled "Vide Strand Lane" and "Temple Barr &c &c," offer him more delicacies. The title "Le Cochon et ses deux petits," translates to "The Pig and its Two Little Ones," further emphasizing the Duke's gluttonous nature. Gillray's use of harsh criticism and exaggerated visuals was a common tactic during this period of political and social upheaval. The satire reflects the growing discontent towards the aristocracy and their perceived excesses, as the country grappled with economic instability and the early stages of the French Revolution. The Duke of Norfolk was not amused by the cartoon and reportedly threatened legal action against Gillray. However, the print proved to be a popular success and is now considered a significant work in the history of British satire and political commentary.
