"Bologna Sausages or Opposition Flux'd" 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, produced this work during a period of intense political rivalry and upheaval in Great Britain. The print is a visual critique of the political opposition of the time, using the metaphor of sausages to lampoon the politicians involved.

The caricature typically features prominent opposition figures of the era, often depicted in a grotesque and exaggerated manner. The use of the term "Bologna Sausages" in the title likely refers to the perceived foreign influence or ideas that were thought to be infiltrating British politics, with "Bologna" being a city in Italy known for its sausages. The phrase "Opposition Flux'd" suggests a state of disorder or flux within the ranks of the political opposition, highlighting their instability or inconsistency.

Gillray's work is characterized by its intricate detail and layered meanings, with visual puns and references that would have been immediately recognizable to contemporary audiences. As with many of Gillray's prints, "Bologna Sausages or Opposition Flux'd" serves as both a piece of political propaganda and a work of art, offering insight into the political climate of the time as well as the public perception of political figures.

The print is an important example of the power of visual satire in the late 18th century and remains a subject of study for historians and art scholars interested in the intersection of art, politics, and society. Gillray's influence on the development of political cartooning is significant, and his work continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical relevance. "Bologna Sausages or Opposition Flux'd" exemplifies Gillray's skill in using humor and caricature to comment on the political landscape of his day.
