"The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver" is a renowned satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1803. This work is a vivid representation of political satire, drawing upon Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" to make a contemporary political statement. In the print, Gillray depicts George III as the giant King of Brobdingnag, looking down with a mixture of curiosity and bemusement at a diminutive Napoleon Bonaparte, who stands in for Swift's character Gulliver. This imagery serves to contrast the moral and physical stature of the British king against the French emperor, highlighting British superiority and mocking Napoleon's ambitions.

Gillray's work is celebrated for its intricate detail, sharp wit, and the effectiveness with which it communicates political commentary. "The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver" is no exception, encapsulating the tensions of the Napoleonic Wars era through its clever adaptation of literary references. The print not only showcases Gillray's mastery of caricature but also reflects the broader context of 19th-century British political and social life, where satire played a significant role in public discourse.

James Gillray, active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is often regarded as one of the fathers of the political cartoon. His works were widely circulated and influential in shaping public opinion. "The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver" remains one of his most famous pieces, exemplifying his skill in using humor and satire to critique and comment on the political landscape of his time. Through this print and others, Gillray's legacy as a pivotal figure in the development of political and social satire is firmly established, continuing to be appreciated for both its artistic merit and historical significance.
