"St Georges Volunteers Charging down Bond Street after clearing the Ring in Hyde Park and storming the Dunghill at Marybone" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. This work is part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre, which often targeted political figures and social issues of his time with biting wit and intricate visual metaphors. The print depicts the St George's Volunteers, a volunteer military regiment, in a mock-heroic charge through the fashionable streets of London, engaging in a farcical battle against imagined enemies.

The title of the print itself is a parody, exaggerating the military exploits of the volunteers by suggesting they are clearing the upper-class area of Hyde Park and charging down Bond Street, a known shopping district, before attacking a 'dunghill' in Marylebone, which could imply a critique of the social pretensions of the time. The humor in the piece arises from the juxtaposition of the grandiose language of military victories with the mundane and somewhat ridiculous reality of the volunteers' activities.

Gillray's work is characterized by its sharp social commentary and often grotesque exaggeration, and this print is no exception. It serves as a historical document, providing insight into the public perception of the volunteer regiments during a period of political unrest and fear of invasion in Britain. The St George's Volunteers were part of a larger volunteer movement during the Napoleonic Wars, where citizens formed regiments to supplement the regular British Army.

The print is an example of Gillray's skill in using satire to comment on the society of his time, and it remains a subject of interest for historians and art enthusiasts alike. Its intricate detail and the complexity of its composition reflect Gillray's mastery of the medium, making it a significant piece within the tradition of British satirical prints.
