EDITORS COMMENTS
James Gillray's satirical print, "Tiddy Doll the great French Gingerbread Baker," published in 1806, offers a scathing commentary on Napoleon Bonaparte's method of appointing new heads of state, primarily from his own family. In the illustration, Tiddy Doll, a portly gingerbread baker, is shown drawing out a new batch of Kings from his oven, with his man, Hopping Talleyrand, mixing the dough. The humorous scene is a harsh criticism of Napoleon's political maneuverings, as Talleyrand was a key figure in the French government at the time. On the right side of the print, models of British politicians such as Charles James Fox and Richard Brinsley Sheridan are depicted, favorably positioned near the oven, suggesting their support for making peace with the new French republic. Below the oven is an ash-hole for broken gingerbread, filled with the remains of old monarchies, symbolizing the rejected and rejected rulers of Europe. The cartoon's title, "Tiddy Doll the great French Gingerbread Baker," is a playful reference to Napoleon's Corsican origins, as "Tiddy Doll" was a colloquial term for a Corsican. The image of Napoleon as a gingerbread baker, creating new kings in an oven, is a clever and biting satire of his political power and the instability of the European political landscape during this time. The print's historical significance lies in its ability to capture the political tensions and satirical commentary of the early 19th century, offering a unique perspective on the Napoleonic Wars and the shifting political alliances of Europe.
