The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver (Plate 2d) published by Hannah Humphrey in 1804
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that offers a satirical glimpse into the world of politics during the Georgian era. Created by James Gillray, this etching with engraving and watercolor on paper showcases George III as the ruler of the Brobdingnagians, an intelligent and peaceful race of giants. In this scene from Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels". Napoleon Bonaparte takes on the role of Gulliver, while courtiers blow wind into sails to propel his boat forward. The image humorously juxtaposes Napoleon's diminutive stature with George III's towering presence, highlighting their contrasting leadership styles. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every character is meticulously depicted, from Queen Charlotte watching with amusement to a midget laughing at Napoleon's expense. The composition also includes various elements such as feathers, queues, and turbans that add depth to the political satire. This print not only serves as entertainment but also provides social commentary on power dynamics and international relations during the Napoleonic Wars. It cleverly mocks both French imperialism represented by Napoleon and British monarchy embodied by George III. Displayed courtesy of New College, Oxford, this historical piece invites viewers to reflect on how rulers are portrayed through caricature art. With its intricate details and witty narrative, "The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver" remains an enduring example of political satire from the early 19th century.
