"More Pigs than Teats" is a political caricature by James Gillray, a prominent British caricaturist and printmaker known for his satirical works during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Created in 1806, this etching and aquatint illustration serves as a critical commentary on the political landscape of the time, particularly focusing on the Ministry of All the Talents. The artwork depicts Charles James Fox, a leading Whig statesman, as a sow nursing several piglets, each representing different political figures and interests vying for power and influence.

The title "More Pigs than Teats" metaphorically illustrates the idea of there being more political aspirants than available positions, highlighting the intense competition and greed within the political sphere. Gillray's work is characterized by its sharp wit and intricate detail, which is evident in this piece through the expressive portrayals and interactions of the characters. The caricature not only serves as a piece of political criticism but also as a reflection of the public sentiment towards the government's effectiveness and the politicians' self-serving nature during that era.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "More Pigs than Teats" was published by Hannah Humphrey and quickly gained attention for its bold imagery and poignant critique. This work remains significant in the study of British political art, offering insights into the period's cultural and social dynamics through the lens of satire.
