"A Birmingham Toast, As Given On 14th July, By The - Revolutionsociety" is a satirical etching created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray. Published in 1791, this work is a vivid example of Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to comment on the political and social issues of his time through art. The etching captures a moment of political satire, reflecting the tensions and revolutionary fervor that were sweeping across Europe in the wake of the French Revolution.

The scene depicted in "A Birmingham Toast" is a mock toast given by members of the so-called "Revolution Society," a group that was sympathetic to the revolutionary cause in France. The etching portrays a chaotic and exaggerated gathering, with figures raising their glasses in a toast that is both celebratory and subversive. The characters in the scene are caricatured with exaggerated features, a hallmark of Gillray's style, which serves to both entertain and provoke thought among viewers.

Gillray's work often targeted political figures and movements, and "A Birmingham Toast" is no exception. The etching is rich with symbolism and references that would have been immediately recognizable to contemporary audiences. It reflects the anxieties and divisions within British society regarding the French Revolution and its potential implications for Britain. The Revolution Society, in particular, was a real group that advocated for political reform and was viewed with suspicion by more conservative elements of society.

The etching is not only a piece of political commentary but also a testament to Gillray's skill as an artist. His ability to convey complex ideas through detailed and humorous imagery has cemented his place as one of the most important satirists of his time. "A Birmingham Toast" remains a significant work for its historical context and its insight into the political climate of late 18th-century Britain.
