"Monstrous Craws at a New Coalition Feast" is a renowned political caricature by the British artist and caricaturist James Gillray, first published on June 26, 1787. The etching and aquatint illustration, which is often highlighted for its satirical and critical portrayal of political figures of the time, serves as a scathing commentary on the political alliances and the perceived greed and gluttony of the politicians involved.

The caricature depicts a dinner scene where prominent Whig politicians of the era are characterized with grotesquely enlarged necks and heads, a visual metaphor for their 'monstrous craws' or voracious appetites. The term 'craw' refers to the crop of a bird, suggesting that the politicians are gorging themselves at the expense of the nation. The 'new coalition' in the title refers to the alliance between Charles James Fox and Frederick North, Lord North, who had previously been political adversaries but joined forces in an attempt to form a government.

Gillray's work is noted for its intricate detail and its bold use of visual metaphor to critique and lampoon the political landscape of his time. "Monstrous Craws at a New Coalition Feast" is no exception, offering a biting satirical perspective on the opportunism and perceived corruption within the political elite. The print is held in various collections and remains a significant example of 18th-century British political satire, reflecting the power of visual art to influence public opinion and political discourse.

As an important work by James Gillray, "Monstrous Craws at a New Coalition Feast" continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance, providing insight into the political tensions and societal issues of late 18th-century Britain. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of political caricature as a form of social commentary and protest.
