"An Old English Gentleman Pester'd By Servants Wanting Places" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and political commentary, often depicted scenes that critiqued the social and political landscape of his time. This particular work is emblematic of his style, which combined intricate detail with humorous exaggeration to convey his message.

The print portrays an elderly gentleman, presumably a member of the landed gentry, besieged by a throng of servants seeking employment. The scene is likely a commentary on the social upheavals and economic uncertainties of the period, reflecting the anxieties of both the upper classes and the working poor. The image captures the chaos and desperation of the job-seeking servants, as well as the overwhelmed and harried expression of the gentleman, thus highlighting the class tensions of the era.

Gillray's work is characterized by its keen observation of character and society, and "An Old English Gentleman Pester'd By Servants Wanting Places" is no exception. The print serves not only as a piece of satirical art but also as a historical document, offering insight into the complexities of class relations and the labor market in late 18th-century Britain. As with many of Gillray's prints, this work would have been circulated among the educated and politically aware segments of society, contributing to the public discourse of the time.

The print remains an important example of James Gillray's contribution to the art of caricature and the rich tradition of British satirical prints. It is held in various collections and continues to be studied by scholars interested in the intersection of art, politics, and society during the Georgian era.
