This particular work, produced in 1800, exemplifies Gillray's talent for blending sharp wit with detailed artistry to comment on contemporary issues and personalities.

The etching portrays a scene involving Gregory, a character who appears to be in a compromising and somewhat ludicrous situation within a coal-hole, a storage space for coal typically found in basements or cellars. The imagery and context suggest a humorous take on the character's predicament, likely serving as a metaphor for a broader social or political commentary. Gillray's work often included such layered meanings, using exaggerated features and scenarios to critique the follies and vices of his subjects.
