"Mendoza" is a notable satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. The artwork is a representation of Daniel Mendoza, a famous English prizefighter of Jewish heritage who was known for his skill in the boxing ring and for being a pioneer of scientific boxing. Mendoza's celebrity status made him a popular subject for Gillray, who was well-known for his sharp wit and ability to capture the essence of public figures in his caricatures.

The print is characterized by Gillray's distinctive style, which often exaggerated physical features and social mannerisms to comedic or critical effect. In "Mendoza," Gillray likely portrays the boxer with an emphasis on his physical prowess and fighting stance, possibly incorporating elements of social commentary or satire related to the sport of boxing, perceptions of Jewish identity, or Mendoza's own public persona.

As with many of Gillray's works, "Mendoza" would have been published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a long-standing professional relationship. The print would have been circulated among the British public, contributing to the vibrant culture of visual satire for which the Georgian era is known.

James Gillray's works are considered significant artifacts of British cultural history, providing insight into the political and social landscape of the time. "Mendoza," as part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre, remains an important piece for study within the context of late 18th-century art, satire, and societal attitudes. It is held in various collections and institutions, testament to its enduring relevance and the continued interest in Gillray's artistic legacy.
