"A Kick at the Broad-Bottoms! i.e. Emancipation of All the Talents" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 1807. This work is a quintessential example of Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to capture the political climate of his time through visual satire. The print is a commentary on the political landscape of early 19th-century Britain, particularly focusing on the coalition government known as the "Ministry of All the Talents," which was formed in 1806 and led by Lord Grenville.

In the print, Gillray employs his characteristic exaggerated style to lampoon the members of the coalition government. The title itself is a pun, with "Broad-Bottoms" referring to the wide political base of the coalition, while also humorously alluding to the physical appearance of the politicians. The scene depicted in the print shows prominent political figures being metaphorically "kicked out" of office, reflecting the public's dissatisfaction with their performance and the eventual fall of the ministry in 1807.

Gillray's work is notable for its intricate detail and the way it encapsulates the personalities and public perceptions of the political figures of the time. The print features caricatures of key figures such as Charles James Fox, Lord Grenville, and other members of the coalition, each rendered with Gillray's trademark grotesque exaggeration. The background and additional elements in the print often include symbolic references and visual metaphors that would have been immediately recognizable to contemporary viewers, adding layers of meaning and commentary.

"A Kick at the Broad-Bottoms!" is not only a piece of political satire but also a historical document that provides insight into the political dynamics and public sentiment of early 19th-century Britain. Gillray's ability to blend humor with incisive political critique has cemented his reputation as one of the most influential caricaturists of his era, and this print remains a significant example of his work.
