"Democracy Leveling; -alliance A La Francoise; - Or - The Union Of The Coronet & Clyster-pipe" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray. Published in 1796, this work exemplifies Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to comment on the political and social issues of his time through the medium of caricature. The print is a vivid example of Gillray's style, characterized by exaggerated features and a keen sense of irony.

The artwork depicts a grotesque and humorous scene that critiques the political alliances and social upheavals of the era, particularly those influenced by the French Revolution. The title itself is a play on words, combining elements of high society (the coronet) with the absurd and lowly (the clyster-pipe, a medical instrument used for enemas), suggesting a union of the noble and the base. This juxtaposition is central to the satire, highlighting the perceived absurdity and degradation of traditional values and hierarchies in the face of revolutionary change.

Gillray's work often targeted figures of authority and the aristocracy, and "Democracy Leveling" is no exception. The print likely comments on the fears of the British elite regarding the spread of revolutionary ideas from France to Britain, and the potential for these ideas to disrupt the established social order. The detailed and exaggerated imagery serves to amplify the absurdity and critique inherent in the scene, making it a powerful piece of visual satire.

As with many of Gillray's works, "Democracy Leveling" would have been widely circulated and discussed, contributing to the public discourse of the time. His ability to capture the complexities and contradictions of political life through humor and exaggeration has cemented his place as one of the most important satirical artists of the 18th century. This print remains a significant example of his contribution to the art of political satire and the broader cultural landscape of his era.
