Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Very good. Wide clean margins. Platemark. Size 14 x 10 Inches. A wonderful example of the 1851 George Bohn restrike of James Gillray's 1793 satirical caricature map of England expelling itself on France. A Closer Look The map illustrates, in the words of a Tate London cataloger, George III crapping vigorously on the coast of France, dispersing a number of tiny gunboats () The image is gross, but the King's evacuations are heroic, patriotic and contemptuous, expressing the feelings of the brutish but uncensored John Bull, whom he here embodies. England, transmogafied as George III, faces to the right, raising his right foot (Kent), to stamp on France, itself taking the form of a face. The King is wearing a fool's cap composed of 'Northumberland.' Wales represents the King's flying coattails. Historical Context The map stems from the pervading fear in England of a Napoleonic invasion. Among George III's expulsions are the words 'British Declaration', referring to George's promise to return Toulon (held by Royalists aided by British and Spanish forces) to the French on the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. Gillray's Caricatures Like many of Gillray's more profane caricatures, this one was suppressed shortly after it was issued and is thus almost never seen in its original 1793 issue. The present example is George Bohn's 1851 restrike from Gillray's original plates, compiled under the title Historical and Descriptive Account of the Caricatures of James Gillray .
