"Blindmans Buff or Too Many for John Bull" is a political cartoon produced by James Gillray, a notable British caricaturist, in 1802. Considered one of the pivotal illustrations of the period, it openly satirizes the settlement of the Treaty of Amiens, which temporarily ended hostilities between Great Britain and the French Republic.

Gillray's work features John Bull, a personification of Britain and its people, blindfolded and surrounded by greedy foreign powers who are attempting to swipe his belongings – laying a straightforward claim to Britain's overseas possessions. Among these figures, Napoleon Bonaparte, the First Consul of the French Republic, is prominently depicted leading the charge.

The cartoon displays Gillray's cutting wit and striking visual imagery, reflecting public sentiment of disillusionment and unease towards the treaty. "Blindmans Buff or Too Many for John Bull" thus stands as a tangible testament to the geopolitical tensions of the early 19th century.

Despite its levity, the cartoon offers profound insights into the historical context of the period, making it a valuable resource for understanding the political climate around the signing of the Treaty of Amiens. The work remains appreciated for its humor, historical import, as well as its artistic value in the annals of political caricature. Evidently, "Blindmans Buff or Too Many for John Bull" is an exemplar of Gillray's biting satirical style that continues to enthrall audiences both within and beyond academia.
