EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Integrity Retiring from Office" captures a pivotal moment in British history, published by Hannah Humphrey in 1801. In this hand-coloured etching with aquatint, James Gillray masterfully portrays the resignation of William Pitt the Younger as Prime Minister. The image depicts Pitt in a declamatory pose, symbolizing his self-sacrifice and unwavering integrity. Pitt's resignation was prompted by King George III's rejection of bills aimed at uniting England and Ireland and emancipating Irish Catholics. Richard Brinsley Sheridan can be seen inciting the riotous scene surrounding Pitt, emphasizing the political satire inherent in this artwork. The composition showcases various elements that highlight the tumultuous nature of politics during this period. A Whig mob is depicted alongside members of Parliament, representing different factions vying for power. The Treasury building looms in the background as a reminder of governmental authority. Gillray's caricature style adds an element of humor to the piece while also conveying its satirical intent. Through exaggerated features and gestures, he criticizes not only specific politicians but also broader societal issues such as corruption within government institutions. This print offers viewers a glimpse into Georgian-era politics and serves as a testament to Gillray's skillful artistry and ability to capture complex historical moments through visual storytelling.
