EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured etching and aquatint print, titled "London Corresponding Society, alarm d, or Guilty Conscience" captures a moment of intense political tension during the late 18th century. Created by James Gillray in 1798 and published by Hannah Humphrey, this piece serves as a scathing commentary on the role of the London Corresponding Society (LCS) in relation to the Irish Rebellion of that same year. The image depicts a clandestine meeting held in an eerie cellar setting. The labourers present exude a menacing atmosphere as they gather under shadows, their deformed and grotesque appearances reflecting their working-class status. This satirical caricature aims to instill fear among viewers about potential rebels within society. The LCS was known for its radical ideologies and seditious activities aimed at challenging the government's authority. As fears of rebellion spread throughout England following the Irish uprising, this print highlights both public anxiety and propaganda against revolutionary movements. Gillray's engraving masterfully portrays frightened revolutionaries engaged in an illegal conference. The dank surroundings add to the secretive nature of their gathering while emphasizing their underground operations. Through this propagandistic artwork, Gillray seeks to expose what he perceives as dangerous elements within society threatening stability and order. Today, this historical print provides valuable insight into political satire during that era while shedding light on societal anxieties surrounding rebellion and social unrest.
