"The Apples and the Horse Turds or Buonaparte Among the Golden Pippins" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th or early 19th century. The work is a political cartoon that reflects the contemporary attitudes and commentary on the political figure Napoleon Bonaparte, who was a prominent subject in Gillray's oeuvre during the Napoleonic Wars.

The print depicts Napoleon, often referred to as Buonaparte in British satires of the time, in a stylized and exaggerated manner, which was typical of Gillray's style. He is shown in a compromising and humorous situation among apples, which are metaphorically represented as "golden pippins," a term that signifies something of value or high quality. The juxtaposition of Napoleon with horse turds serves as a visual pun and a biting critique, suggesting a contrast between the perceived value of the British (the apples) and the disdain for the French leader (the horse turds).

Gillray's work is characterized by its intricate detail, sharp wit, and its ability to capture and influence public opinion. "The Apples and the Horse Turds" is no exception, offering insight into the political tensions of the era and the role of caricature as a form of social commentary. The print would have been circulated among the British public and would have contributed to the shaping of Napoleon's image in Britain.

As with many of Gillray's prints, this work is an important piece of historical and artistic significance, providing a window into the political climate of the time and the power of visual satire. It is a testament to Gillray's skill as an artist and his influence as a political commentator. The print remains a subject of study for those interested in art history, political science, and the history of satire.
