"The Coalition" is a notable political satire print by James Gillray, a British caricaturist and printmaker renowned for his sharp and often biting satirical works during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Created in 1783, the print depicts a significant moment in British political history: the coalition between Charles James Fox of the Whig party and Lord North of the Tory party. This unlikely alliance was formed to oppose the perceived autocratic rule of King George III and his favorite, William Pitt the Younger.

Gillray's work is characterized by its intricate detail and layered symbolism, which conveys the artist's critical perspective on the political maneuverings of the time. "The Coalition" is no exception, as it presents its subjects in an unflattering light, with exaggerated features and compromising positions that suggest corruption and the abandonment of political principles for power. The print serves not only as a piece of political commentary but also as a historical document, reflecting the tensions and machinations within the British parliamentary system.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "The Coalition" was widely circulated and contributed to the public discourse on politics and society. It remains an important example of the power of visual satire to influence public opinion and is studied by historians and art scholars alike for its artistic merit and its insight into the political climate of the era. The print is held in various collections, including the National Portrait Gallery in London, and continues to be a subject of interest for those examining the intersection of art, politics, and history.
