"Tales of Wonder! This attempt to describe the effects of the sublime and wonderful is dedicated to M.G. Lewis Esq by James Gillray" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray. Published in the late 18th century, this work is a visual commentary on the Gothic literary movement that was popular at the time, particularly targeting the works of Matthew Gregory Lewis, an English novelist and playwright known for his Gothic novel "The Monk." Gillray's piece is a testament to the cultural impact of the Gothic genre and its associated themes of horror, the supernatural, and the sublime.

The print features a scene that encapsulates the essence of the Gothic atmosphere, with exaggerated and grotesque figures that evoke a sense of the macabre and the fantastic. Gillray's artistry is evident in the intricate details and the expressive characters that populate the scene, each contributing to the overall narrative of terror and wonder. The dedication to M.G. Lewis highlights the direct connection to the author and his contributions to the genre, making the print not only a work of art but also a piece of literary and cultural criticism.

As a caricaturist, Gillray was known for his sharp wit and ability to capture the zeitgeist of his time through visual means. "Tales of Wonder!" is a prime example of his skill in using satire to both entertain and provoke thought about contemporary trends and personalities. This print remains an important artifact for those studying the intersection of visual art, literature, and social commentary during the turn of the 19th century.
