"Phaeton Alarm'd" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, first published on March 25, 1808. The artwork is a political cartoon that reflects Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to encapsulate complex political situations through allegory and mythological references. In this print, Gillray employs the myth of Phaeton, the son of the sun god Helios, who is known for his disastrous attempt to drive his father's sun chariot, leading to chaos.

The print serves as a commentary on the political climate of the time, with Phaeton often interpreted as a stand-in for a political figure or figures whose actions were causing concern or upheaval. Gillray's work is characterized by its intricate detail, vivid imagery, and the layered meanings that could be interpreted in multiple ways depending on the viewer's perspective and knowledge of current events.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "Phaeton Alarm'd" would have been displayed in shop windows and could be purchased by collectors and political enthusiasts. His work was widely circulated and commented upon, contributing to the public discourse of the day. The print remains an important example of the power of visual satire and the role it played in 18th and early 19th-century British political and social life.

Gillray's prints are held in high esteem by art historians and collectors, and "Phaeton Alarm'd" is no exception. It is part of a rich tradition of British satirical art that continues to influence political cartoonists to this day. The print is a testament to Gillray's enduring legacy as one of Britain's most incisive and influential satirists.
