EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured etching, titled "The Daily Advertiser, published by Hannah Humphrey in 1797" is a captivating piece of political satire created by James Gillray. The image portrays Charles James Fox, the opposition leader at the time, shedding tears while reading news that accuses him of seeking pensions and government posts. This caricature highlights Fox's alleged treachery and positions him as a suspected Jacobin. Gillray's cartoon employs various symbols to convey its message effectively. A speech bubble emerges from Fox's mouth, emphasizing his role as a reformer and vendor of information. He wears a bonnet rouge, symbolizing his radical beliefs and association with the French Revolution. His scruffy appearance, unshaven face, and tattered clothing further depict him as an uncouth politician. The artist also includes elements of Tory propaganda within the print. A doorknocker shaped like a liberty cap hangs on the Treasury door behind Fox, suggesting that he is knocking on it for personal gain rather than serving the public interest. Overall, this satirical artwork captures both the political climate of its time and Gillray's skillful ability to criticize prominent figures through visual representation. It serves as an intriguing historical artifact showcasing how political cartoons were used to shape public opinion during this era of British politics.
