James Gillray was a British caricaturist and printmaker famous for his etched political and social satires. Many of his works are held at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Gillray has been called "the father of the political cartoon,” with his works satirizing kings, prime ministers and generals. He is one, among two cartoonists, with the wit and humor to execute such images.
