"French Taylor fitting John Bull with a Jean de Bry 2" is a satirical print by the British caricaturist and printmaker James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. James Gillray (1756–1815) is widely regarded as one of the foremost political satirists of his time, whose work remains influential in the field of caricature. This particular print is part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre, which often targeted political figures and social issues of the day, using wit and visual hyperbole to critique and entertain.

The print itself is a visual commentary on the relationship between Britain and France, with John Bull, a national personification of England, often depicted as a stout, middle-aged man, being fitted with a "Jean de Bry," which may refer to a style of clothing or fashion that was associated with French influence. The title suggests a humorous or critical portrayal of the British adopting French styles, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for political or cultural influence.

In the print, Gillray typically employs exaggerated features and absurd situations to make his point, and the interaction between the French tailor and John Bull would have been immediately recognizable to contemporary audiences as a commentary on the prevailing attitudes towards France and its influence on British society. The artwork serves as a historical document, reflecting the tensions and cross-cultural exchanges between the two nations during a period of significant political upheaval and conflict.

As with many of Gillray's works, "French Taylor fitting John Bull with a Jean de Bry 2" would have been published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a close professional relationship. The print contributes to the rich tradition of British satirical art and offers insight into the public discourse and societal concerns of the time. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the history of political satire, British-French relations, and the cultural landscape of the late 18th century.
