"The Arms of France" is a political satire print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, first published on May 29, 1797. Known for his sharp wit and keen observation, Gillray's work often targeted political figures and events, and this print is no exception. In "The Arms of France," Gillray critiques the French military ambitions and political strategies during the French Revolutionary Wars.

The artwork features a detailed and exaggerated depiction of the French coat of arms, but with a humorous and critical twist that reflects the turbulent political climate of the time. The print portrays various symbols and elements that mock the French military prowess and the perceived arrogance of the French political leadership. By altering traditional heraldic symbols into caricatures of French generals and politicians, Gillray's work not only entertains but also provides commentary on the broader geopolitical conflicts between Britain and France.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "The Arms of France" was widely circulated and popular among the British public, contributing to the national discourse on the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars. The print remains an important example of 18th-century British political satire and is studied for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance in representing British views on French political affairs during a critical period in European history.
