"Political Mathematicians" is a satirical etching created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 1795. Known for his sharp wit and keen eye for political and social commentary, Gillray's work often targeted the political figures and events of his time, and "Political Mathematicians" is no exception. This particular piece is a vivid example of Gillray's ability to blend humor with pointed criticism, capturing the complexities and absurdities of the political landscape in late 18th-century Britain.

The etching depicts a group of prominent political figures engaged in a farcical attempt to solve a mathematical problem, symbolizing the convoluted and often nonsensical nature of political decision-making. Gillray's intricate and exaggerated style brings each character to life, highlighting their distinctive features and personalities. The scene is rich with visual metaphors and allegorical elements, inviting viewers to decipher the deeper meanings behind the caricature.

"Political Mathematicians" was produced during a period of significant political turmoil and change in Britain, marked by the aftermath of the French Revolution and the ongoing conflicts with France. Gillray's work reflects the anxieties and tensions of the era, using humor as a means to critique and question the actions of those in power. The etching is not only a piece of artistic expression but also a historical document, offering insights into the public sentiment and political discourse of the time.

As with many of Gillray's works, "Political Mathematicians" was widely circulated and discussed, contributing to the broader conversation about governance and authority. It remains a valuable artifact for historians and art enthusiasts alike, illustrating the enduring power of satire in shaping public opinion and challenging the status quo.
