EDITORS COMMENTS
James Gillray's 'Cartoon, Patriotic Petitions on the Convention' is a satirical commentary on the British reaction to the Convention of Sintra, signed on August 30, 1808, during the Peninsular War. The cartoon depicts four scenes of petitions being presented to the throne, each representing different segments of British society. In the first scene, 'The Cockney Petition,' a group of rough, working-class Londoners, led by the famous character Mr. Punch, present their petition, which reads, "We humbly pray your Majesty to kick the French and Russians out of Spain." The second scene, 'The Westminster Petition,' shows a group of well-dressed gentlemen, including the famous actor Charles Dibdin, presenting a petition that reads, "Your Majesty, we humbly pray that your ministers may be rejected, and that a reformed ministry may be established." The third scene, 'The Chelmsford Petition,' depicts a group of farmers and country folk, led by Sir Francis Burdett, presenting a petition that reads, "Your Majesty, we humbly pray that your ministers may be kicked out of office and that a republican government may be established." The final scene, 'The Middlesex Petition,' shows a group of military men, including General Sir John Moore and the Duke of Wellington, presenting a petition that reads, "Your Majesty, we humbly pray that your ministers may be kicked out of office and that a more vigorous war effort may be initiated." The cartoon is a harsh criticism of the British government and its perceived leniency towards France and Russia during the Peninsular War. The various petitions represent the growing dissatisfaction and frustration of different segments of British society, and the overall message of the cartoon is one of rejection and a call for change. The cartoon's title, 'Patriotic Petitions on the Convention,' underscores the patriotic fervor and desire for action that was prevalent in Britain during this time.
