"Making Decent; -ie- Broad-bottomites Getting Into The Grand Costume" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 1806. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and keen eye for political and social commentary, produced this work during a period of significant political upheaval in Britain. The print is a vivid example of Gillray's ability to blend humor with pointed criticism, targeting the political figures and issues of his time.

The term "Broad-bottomites" in the title refers to the members of the Broad Bottom Ministry, a coalition government formed in the early 19th century. This ministry was characterized by its diverse and often conflicting political factions, which Gillray lampooned through his art. The phrase "Getting Into The Grand Costume" suggests a theatrical element, implying that these politicians are merely playing roles or putting on a facade for the public.

In the print, Gillray employs his signature exaggerated style to depict the politicians in elaborate, often ridiculous costumes. This visual metaphor serves to underscore the perceived absurdity and hypocrisy of the political figures, suggesting that their public personas are mere disguises masking their true intentions and incompetence. The detailed and often grotesque caricatures are typical of Gillray's work, which frequently pushed the boundaries of taste to deliver its satirical punch.

"Making Decent" is not just a humorous critique but also a reflection of the public's growing disillusionment with political leaders. Gillray's work resonated with contemporary audiences who were increasingly skeptical of the motivations and effectiveness of their government. Today, the print is considered an important historical artifact, offering insight into the political climate of early 19th-century Britain and the enduring power of satire as a tool for social and political commentary.
