"Retribution; - Tarring & Feathering; - Or - The Patriots Revenge" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. This work is an example of Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to capture and critique the political and social issues of his time through the medium of printmaking. The print depicts the act of tarring and feathering, a form of public humiliation and punishment used during the American Revolution and other historical periods, often against those seen as enemies or traitors to a particular cause.

In Gillray's depiction, the artist employs his characteristic exaggeration and grotesque imagery to convey a scene that is both comical and disturbing, reflecting the violent and often chaotic nature of political retribution. The print serves as a commentary on the extreme measures taken by individuals who styled themselves as patriots, seeking revenge against those who opposed their views or actions. Gillray's work often targeted the follies of the powerful and the absurdities of political life, and "Retribution; - Tarring & Feathering; - Or - The Patriots Revenge" is no exception, offering a critical perspective on the concept of 'patriotic' justice.

As with many of Gillray's prints, this piece would have been circulated among the public and could be seen displayed in print shop windows in London, contributing to the vibrant political discourse of the time. The print remains an important historical artifact, providing insight into the political tensions and methods of social punishment during the era in which it was produced. It also stands as a testament to Gillray's enduring legacy as one of Britain's most influential and incisive satirists.
