GILLRAY, James.
The Genuine Works of James Gillray [with] Illustrative Description of the Genuine Works of Mr. James Gillray.

"Gillray was the artist who introduced wit (as opposed to humour) into English caricature....Caricature existed in Europe, but to no significant extent; the main conditions which favoured the growth of political caricature -- freedom of expression, party faction, and a sizeable market--were to be found in England" (ODNB) Gillray emerged as a caricaturist in the 1780s. It appears that he initially attempted to forge a career as a serious engraver but failed “because his style was too idiosyncratic, too inclined to distortion”. In 18th century Britain, caricature was considered a low art form, which explains Gillray’s initial reluctance to follow this path. However, by 1786 his work consists almost entirely of caricatures. Although embracing what was deemed a lower form of art, Gillray continually demonstrates the technical ability and finesse which were the result of his Royal Academy training. The engravings also show that he was a man of learning through their “dense intertextuality”; containing references to Milton, Shakespeare, Horace and Homer, as well as to popular songs. Yet despite the highbrow references, much of Gillray’s subject matter is bawdy or grotesque. His audacious caricatures of members of the Royal Family, particularly George III and the Prince Regent, showed a “coarseness and viciousness that no rivals attempted and which amazed observers from abroad.”

First edition, fully hand-coloured, a monumental second attempt at a definitive collection of the works of James Gillray, the leading caricaturist of the late eighteenth century and an artist of outstanding inventiveness.
