"The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver" is a satirical etching and aquatint by the British caricaturist and printmaker James Gillray, created in 1803. The artwork is a political cartoon that draws upon the characters from Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" to comment on contemporary events and figures. In the print, Gillray depicts the King of Brobdingnag, a giant in Swift's tale, holding a tiny Lemuel Gulliver, who represents George III, the King of Great Britain and Ireland at the time.

The illustration is rich in allegory and symbolism, with the King of Brobdingnag scrutinizing Gulliver through a magnifying glass, emphasizing the disparity in size and, by extension, the power dynamics between the two figures. This visual metaphor is used by Gillray to critique and provide commentary on the political landscape of the era, particularly the relationship between Britain and other European powers, as well as the British monarchy's influence and perception.

Gillray's work is notable for its intricate detail, sharp wit, and the way it captures the essence of the political climate of the early 19th century. "The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver" is considered an important example of Gillray's artistry and his ability to intertwine literature and politics in his satirical commentary. The print is held in various collections, including the British Museum, and remains a subject of study for those interested in the history of political satire, printmaking, and British history.

As an influential figure in the development of the political cartoon, James Gillray's contributions to the genre are widely recognized. His works are often cited as precursors to modern editorial cartoons, and "The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver" stands as a testament to his enduring legacy in the field of visual satire.
