"Charon's-boat.-or-the Ghost's Of 'all The Talents' Taking Their Last Voyage,-from The Pope's Gallery At Rome" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 1807. This work is a vivid example of Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to capture the political and social climate of his time through his art. The print is a commentary on the political downfall of the Ministry of All the Talents, a coalition government in the United Kingdom that was in power from 1806 to 1807.

The Ministry of All the Talents was formed by prominent political figures including Charles James Fox, Lord Grenville, and William Windham, among others. Despite its promising start, the coalition faced numerous challenges and ultimately failed to deliver on its promises, leading to its dissolution. Gillray's print captures this moment of political demise by depicting the members of the Ministry as ghostly figures being ferried by Charon, the mythological boatman of the underworld, symbolizing their political death and journey to oblivion.

In the print, Charon is seen navigating his boat across the River Styx, with the spectral figures of the ministers aboard. The setting is humorously placed in the Pope's Gallery at Rome, adding a layer of irony and critique of the perceived ineffectiveness and foreign influences on the British government. Gillray's use of classical mythology and contemporary political figures showcases his ability to blend historical and cultural references to create a powerful satirical statement.

James Gillray's work is celebrated for its detailed and exaggerated style, which effectively conveys the absurdity and folly of the political figures he portrayed. "Charon's-boat.-or-the Ghost's Of 'all The Talents' Taking Their Last Voyage,-from The Pope's Gallery At Rome" remains an important piece in the history of political satire, reflecting the turbulent political landscape of early 19th-century Britain and Gillray's enduring legacy as a master of caricature.
