EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Guy-Vaux and Judas-Iscariot" takes us back to the political landscape of 1782. Created by James Gillray, a renowned satirical artist, this print captures the essence of political satire in its most vibrant form. The central figures depicted are Charles James Fox and Richard Sheridan, both prominent politicians of their time. In a clever twist, Gillray portrays Fox as Guy Fawkes and Sheridan as Judas Iscariot. Through this allegorical representation, the artist criticizes their actions and positions within the political arena. The scene is set at night with an air of mystery surrounding it. The men stand tall, donning capes that symbolize their power and influence. A lantern illuminates their faces while they engage in what seems like an intense conversation or accusation.

It stands as a testament to Gillray's mastery in capturing not only individuals but also the spirit of an entire era through his
