"Old England New France The Contrast" is a notable work of political satire by James Gillray, an English caricaturist and printmaker who was predominantly active during the Georgian era. Published in 1792, this work comes from a period widely regarded as Gillray's peak, during which he satirized both British politics and international affairs with his bold, burlesque style. "Old England New France The Contrast" exemplifies Gillray's use of humor and caricature to provide commentary on the differing political climates and societal expectations in England and France during the late 18th century.

This particular print represents a comparative illustration of the alleged state of Old England and New France, a classic subject of contrast in Gillray's work. The contrast highlights the differences between the perceived stability of England's constitutional monarchy and the turbulent, violent path of France following the French Revolution. The work is enriched with a multitude of satirical subtleties, showcasing Gillray's distinct viewpoint on the societal differences and rivalries. As with the majority of his oeuvre, Gillray does not shy from divisive socio-political commentary, presented through the lens of his quintessential caricature style.

"Old England New France The Contrast" is part of the extensive collection at the British Museum, which holds one of the largest assortments of works by Gillray. This work remains a significant example of the historical and political narratives that Gillray skillfully intertwined into his caricatures, making it a valuable component of the study of 18th-century art and satire.
