"The Bottomless Pitt" is a satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, first published on May 3, 1792. Known for his sharp wit and keen observation, Gillray created this work during a period of intense political debate in Britain, reflecting the anxieties and controversies of the era. The print depicts William Pitt the Younger, who was the Prime Minister of Great Britain at the time, in a caricatured form. Pitt is shown with exaggerated features, falling into a literal bottomless pit, symbolizing his political challenges and the perceived dangers of his policies.

The artwork serves as a critique of Pitt's administration, particularly focusing on issues such as fiscal policies, public debt, and his approach to the French Revolution, which was contemporaneous to the time of the artwork's creation. Gillray's use of vivid imagery and allegory in "The Bottomless Pitt" exemplifies the artist's style, which combined artistic skill with biting political commentary. This print is considered an important piece in the study of British political satire and art history, offering insights into the public discourse and political landscape of late 18th-century Britain.
