"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. Known for his sharp wit and keen eye for political and social commentary, Gillray's work often targeted the political figures and issues of his time, and this particular piece is no exception.

The print depicts a grotesque and exaggerated scene where a sow, representing John Bull, the personification of England, is besieged by a litter of piglets. Each piglet is labeled with the name of a politician or public figure, suggesting that these individuals are greedily sucking the life out of the nation. The imagery is both humorous and biting, characteristic of Gillray's style, which combines detailed artistry with incisive satire.

Gillray's work often reflected the turbulent political landscape of late 18th and early 19th century Britain, a period marked by the Napoleonic Wars, economic challenges, and significant political reforms. This print, created during the administration of Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger, can be seen as a critique of the government's handling of national resources and the perceived self-interest of its members.

The title itself, "More Pigs Than Teats," suggests a situation where there are more claimants than resources available, a metaphor for the political and economic strain on the country. The phrase "Sucking John Bulls Old Sow To Death" further emphasizes the destructive impact of these greedy politicians on the well-being of the nation.

Gillray's work remains influential and is studied for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance. His ability to capture the essence of political and social issues through vivid and often grotesque imagery has cemented his place as one of the foremost caricaturists of his time.
