"Heros Recruiting at Kelseys or Guard Day at St Jamess" is a notable work by the renowned British caricaturist and printmaker, James Gillray. Created in 1797, this satirical print is a commentary on the military recruitment practices of the time, particularly focusing on the British Army's recruitment of Irish soldiers during the French Revolutionary Wars. The artwork is set in Kelsey's Tavern, a popular recruiting spot in London, and depicts a scene of boisterous revelry and recruitment, with a variety of characters representing different social classes and occupations. The title also references Guard Day at St James's, a ceremonial changing of the guard that was a popular spectacle in 18th-century London. Gillray's work is known for its sharp wit, detailed imagery, and biting social commentary, and "Heros Recruiting at Kelseys or Guard Day at St Jamess" is a prime example of his style. This print, like many of Gillray's works, provides valuable insights into the social and political climate of late 18th-century Britain.
