"Anti-Saccharites or John Bull and his Family leaving off the use of Sugar" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1792. The artwork is a commentary on the sugar boycott that was part of the anti-slavery movement in Britain, which aimed to disrupt the economy of the slave trade by encouraging people to stop consuming sugar produced by enslaved labor in the West Indies. The print depicts the fictional character John Bull, a national personification of England, along with his family, as they reluctantly abstain from sugar, illustrating the challenges and the perceived absurdity of the sacrifice required by the boycott.

In the print, Gillray humorously captures the Bull family's distress and discomfort as they attempt to enjoy their tea without the sweetness of sugar, a luxury they had taken for granted. The image serves as a microcosm of the larger societal debate surrounding the abolitionist movement and the personal sacrifices that individuals were asked to make for the greater good. The caricature is rich with detail and symbolism, reflecting the artist's critical view of both the anti-slavery campaign and the British public's response to it.

As a work of art, "Anti-Saccharites or John Bull and his Family leaving off the use of Sugar" is an important example of the role of visual satire in shaping public opinion and political discourse in the late 18th century. It is held in high regard for its historical significance and its representation of the complexities of moral and economic choices in the context of the abolitionist movement. The print remains a valuable artifact for scholars studying the intersection of art, politics, and society in Georgian Britain.
