"A Uniform Whig" is a satirical print by the British caricaturist and printmaker James Gillray, first published on March 2, 1792. Renowned for his sharp wit and political commentary, Gillray's work often took aim at public figures and political events of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, making him one of the foremost caricaturists of the Georgian era.

The print "A Uniform Whig" features a full-length portrait of Charles James Fox, a prominent Whig statesman known for his support of the American Revolution and his opposition to King George III. In this caricature, Fox is depicted in an exaggerated manner, wearing a uniform that combines elements of both the American rebels and the French revolutionaries, symbolizing his political sympathies with these causes. The print reflects the contentious political climate of the time, with Britain feeling the reverberations of both the American and French revolutions.

Gillray's work is characterized by its intricate detail, vivid imagery, and often scathing social critique. "A Uniform Whig" is no exception, serving as a visual editorial on the perceived radicalism of Charles James Fox and his political faction. The print is held in various collections, including the National Portrait Gallery in London, and remains a significant example of Georgian-era political satire.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "A Uniform Whig" not only provides insight into the political tensions of its day but also offers a window into the broader cultural and social dynamics of late 18th-century Britain. Gillray's legacy as a caricaturist has been long-lasting, with his work continuing to be studied and appreciated for its historical value and artistic merit.
