"A Scotch Poney" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, first published on May 1, 1796. Known for his sharp wit and often biting social commentary, Gillray's work frequently targeted political figures and events of his time, and "A Scotch Poney" is no exception. The etching and aquatint, which is typical of Gillray's style, depicts a caricature of a Scottish figure, which may be interpreted as a commentary on Scottish influence or stereotypes during the late 18th century.

The print showcases Gillray's adept skill in using visual metaphor and exaggeration to convey his satirical message. As with many of Gillray's prints, "A Scotch Poney" would have been displayed in the shop window of Hannah Humphrey, Gillray's publisher and friend, where it would catch the eye of passersby and contribute to the public discourse of the day. The piece is emblematic of the vibrant culture of political and social satire in Georgian Britain, where prints and caricatures served as an important medium for both entertainment and critique.

"A Scotch Poney" is part of a larger body of work by James Gillray that is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors of satirical art. His works are considered significant historical documents that provide insight into the political and social landscape of his time. Today, Gillray's prints, including "A Scotch Poney," can be found in the collections of major museums and libraries, serving as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Britain's greatest caricaturists.
