"Anti-saccharrites -or- John Bull And His Family Leaving Off the Use Of Sugar" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, published on March 24, 1792. The artwork serves as a pointed commentary on the sugar boycott that was part of the abolitionist movement's efforts to end the transatlantic slave trade. The print depicts the fictional character John Bull, a national personification of England, along with his family, as they reluctantly attempt to abstain from using sugar in their tea, a luxury commodity produced by enslaved labor in the British colonies.

In the image, the figures exhibit exaggerated expressions of disgust and discomfort, humorously underscoring the perceived hardship of forgoing sugar. The scene is set in a domestic interior, with the family gathered around a table, highlighting the impact of political and social movements on everyday life. Gillray's work captures the tension between moral stance and personal sacrifice, as well as the broader societal reluctance to embrace the boycott.

The print is a significant example of Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to engage with contemporary political and social issues through visual satire. It is also reflective of the broader cultural and economic debates of the time, as sugar was not only a symbol of wealth and taste but also of the moral complexities surrounding the consumption of goods produced by enslaved labor. "Anti-saccharrites" remains an important historical artifact, offering insight into the role of art in activism and the public discourse surrounding the abolition movement in late 18th-century Britain.
