"Counsellor OP Defender of our Theatric Liberties" is a notable work by James Gillray, a prominent British caricaturist and printmaker renowned for his satirical and political cartoons during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Created in 1809, this piece emerges from a period rich in political and social upheaval, reflecting Gillray's keen insight into the controversies and debates of his time. The artwork is particularly significant for its commentary on the Old Price (OP) Riots, a series of public protests that erupted in response to increased ticket prices at the newly rebuilt Covent Garden Theatre in London.

Gillray's work is characterized by its intricate detail, sharp wit, and the ability to encapsulate complex societal issues within a single, compelling image. "Counsellor OP Defender of our Theatric Liberties" exemplifies these qualities, serving not only as a piece of artistic expression but also as a historical document that offers insights into the cultural and political landscape of early 19th-century Britain. The print features a caricature of a figure, presumably a lawyer or a counsellor, who stands as a symbolic defender of the public's right to affordable entertainment, embodying the widespread resistance against what was perceived as the elitist encroachment on cultural accessibility.

This artwork contributes to our understanding of the period's social dynamics, highlighting the intersection of culture, politics, and public sentiment. It also underscores Gillray's role as a critical observer of his society, using his art to engage with and critique the issues of his day. "Counsellor OP Defender of our Theatric Liberties" remains a testament to Gillray's mastery of satire and his enduring influence on the genre of political caricature.
