EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "A Sphere projecting against a Plane" captures the satirical genius of James Gillray. Created in 1792, this print is a brilliant commentary on the stark contrast between two prominent figures of the time. In the foreground, we see an obese and staring figure representing William Pitt the Younger, who was serving as Prime Minister during this period. His round and fat appearance is juxtaposed with a slender and angular plane that symbolizes his political opponents. This clever visual metaphor highlights Pitt's dominance in Parliament despite facing opposition from various factions. On the other side of the composition stands Albinia, Countess of Buckinghamshire, known for her socialite status and amateur acting career. She appears as a skinny sphere projected against an opposite plane, emphasizing her contrasting personality traits - both glamorous yet fragile. Gillray's caricature skillfully captures not only physical attributes but also underlying character traits through exaggerated features and expressions. The use of Euclid's definitions adds another layer to this artwork by infusing mathematical concepts into political satire. This print from The Stapleton Collection showcases Gillray's mastery in creating humorous yet thought-provoking images that entertained audiences while delivering biting social commentary. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Britain's most influential cartoonists during the Georgian era.
