Painting Description
The London Corresponding Society alarmd, or Guilty Conscience 2 is a hand-coloured etching on paper, created by renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 8. Regarded as one of Gillray's most political works, the piece reflects his conservative ideology and political views; it serves as a critique of the London Corresponding Society, a prominent radical organization during the era of the French Revolution.
In the artwork, Gillray uses symbolism to underscore his commentary on contemporary political discourse. It depicts various members of the London Corresponding Society in different states of fear and anxiety, implying a state of 'guilty conscience' due to their radical political activities. Each figure is shown reacting dramatically to a ghostly apparition of a guillotine, representing the violent methods of radicalism, and reflecting the prevalent fear of French revolutionary sentiment permeating British society during the late 18th century.
Gillray's use of satirical elements in this etching underscores his alignment with conservative forces against the radicalism of the era. Notably, the piece is one of Gillray's several caricatures critiquing the London Corresponding Society, evidencing his continued engagement with the political scenarios of his time. The enduring relevance of the artwork is a testament to Gillray's reputation as one of the foremost caricaturists of British politics in the Georgian era.
