"Promised Horrors of the French Invasion, or Forcible Reasons for Negotiating a Regicide Peace" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1796. This work is part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre, which often critiqued political figures, events, and sentiments of the late 18th and early 19th centuries through sharp wit and intricate artwork. The print serves as a vivid commentary on the widespread fear and speculation in Britain regarding the potential consequences of a French invasion during the tumultuous years following the French Revolution and amidst the ongoing Napoleonic Wars.

Gillray's piece captures the anxiety and hyperbolic scenarios imagined by the British public and press, reflecting on the broader political and social climate of the time. By exaggerating the perceived threats and horrors of a French invasion, Gillray not only lampoons the French Revolutionary government and its supporters but also critiques the British response to the revolutionary fervor sweeping across Europe. The artwork is characterized by its detailed and grotesque imagery, typical of Gillray's style, which effectively conveys the chaos and fear associated with the prospect of French revolutionary ideals forcibly imposed on British society.

"Promised Horrors of the French Invasion" is emblematic of Gillray's mastery in using satire to comment on and critique contemporary politics and society. His work remains significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering insights into the public sentiment and political controversies of his time. As with much of Gillray's work, this print is preserved in several prestigious collections, including the British Museum, and continues to be studied for its complex interplay of imagery, politics, and humor.
