DISCUSSION:James Gillray [1756-1815], was a British caricaturist and
printmaker famous for his satirical prints commenting on political and
social issues and figures of his day. He was most active between 1792 and
1810, and is considered to be among history’s most influential political
caricaturists. Many of his wittiest satires were at the expense of George
III, who, after examining some of Gillray's sketches, said "I don't
understand these caricatures." Gillray began suffering episodes of madness
in 1811, and died on 1 June 1815.
