"More Pigs Than Teats; -or- The New Litter Of Hungry Grunters, Sucking John Bulls Old Sow To Death" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 1806. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and incisive commentary on political and social issues, uses this work to critique the British government and its policies during a tumultuous period in British history.

The print depicts a sow, representing John Bull, a national personification of Britain, being overwhelmed by a litter of piglets. Each piglet symbolizes a different politician or public figure of the time, all vying for resources and power at the expense of the nation. The imagery of the sow being sucked to death by the greedy piglets serves as a powerful metaphor for the perceived exploitation and mismanagement by those in power, suggesting that the country's resources are being drained by the self-serving actions of its leaders.

Gillray's work is characterized by its detailed and exaggerated style, which amplifies the absurdity and corruption he aims to expose. The print is a reflection of the public discontent with the political climate of the early 19th century, particularly in the context of the Napoleonic Wars and the economic strain they placed on Britain. Through his art, Gillray provides a scathing critique of the political figures of his time, holding them accountable for their actions and their impact on the nation.

"More Pigs Than Teats" is a quintessential example of Gillray's ability to blend humor with biting social commentary, making it a significant piece in the history of political satire. The print not only offers insight into the specific historical context of early 19th-century Britain but also serves as a timeless reminder of the potential consequences of political greed and incompetence.
