"A Right Honourable alias a Sans Culotte" is a satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1793 during a period of political upheaval and social change. The etching, which is a fine example of Gillray's sharp wit and intricate artistry, serves as a commentary on the radical politics of the time, particularly in the context of the French Revolution and its influence on British political thought.

The print depicts a figure that is half-dressed as a British aristocrat and half as a French sans-culotte, the latter being a term used to describe the radical working-class militants during the French Revolution who were characterized by their long trousers (pantaloons) as opposed to the knee-breeches (culottes) worn by the aristocracy and bourgeoisie. The juxtaposition within the figure's attire is a visual pun intended to highlight the hypocrisy or duality of certain British politicians who, while enjoying the privileges of the aristocracy, sympathized with or espoused radical revolutionary ideals.

Gillray's work is notable for its intricate detail, vivid imagery, and its ability to capture and critique the political zeitgeist. "A Right Honourable alias a Sans Culotte" is part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre of political satire, which often targeted prominent figures of the day and contributed to the public discourse on politics, society, and morality. The print remains an important historical artifact, offering insight into the political tensions of the late 18th century and the role of visual satire in shaping public opinion.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "A Right Honourable alias a Sans Culotte" was likely published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a long-standing professional relationship. The print would have been circulated among the public and could be seen displayed in Humphrey's print shop window, serving both as a piece of political commentary and as a means to attract customers.

Today, Gillray's works are held in high esteem by art historians and political scholars alike, and prints such as "A Right Honourable alias a Sans Culotte" are studied for their artistic merit as well as their historical significance in the context of British satirical art and the broader political landscape of the era.
