"Preliminaries of Peace or John Bull and his Little Friends Marching to Paris" is a satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1801. This work is a part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre, which predominantly focuses on political satire, critiquing events, figures, and sentiments of his time through incisive and often humorous illustrations. The print depicts a corpulent John Bull, a national personification of England, leading a group of small, caricatured figures representing the allies of Britain, as they march towards Paris. This imagery is reflective of the geopolitical dynamics during the preliminary peace talks that aimed to conclude the hostilities associated with the French Revolutionary Wars. The print captures the triumphant yet cautious mood of the British and their allies as they negotiate peace with France, personified in the print by a sly and diminutive figure of Napoleon. Gillray's work is noted for its intricate detail, vivid characterization, and its ability to convey complex political narratives through visual satire. This print, like many of Gillray’s works, serves as both a historical document and a piece of political commentary, offering insights into the public sentiment and political climate of early 19th-century Britain.
