"The Loyal Address, or The Procession of the Hampshire Hogs from Botley to St James" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. This work is a pointed political commentary that exemplifies Gillray's sharp wit and his capacity to capture and critique the social and political landscape of his time through visual art. The print depicts a procession of individuals, characterized as hogs, making their way from Botley, a village in Hampshire, to St. James's Palace in London. The caricature is believed to mock a specific political event or figures, as was typical of Gillray's style, which often targeted politicians, the monarchy, and various societal mores.

As a leading figure in British caricature, James Gillray's work was influential in shaping public opinion and political discourse. His prints were widely circulated and eagerly anticipated by a public that enjoyed both the humor and the incisive commentary on current events. "The Loyal Address" is a testament to Gillray's artistic skill and his ability to intertwine humor with serious political critique. The print serves as a historical document, offering insight into the political tensions and cultural attitudes of the time.

The work is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, particularly in the context of studies on satire, political propaganda, and the role of visual art in 18th and 19th-century British society. As with many of Gillray's prints, "The Loyal Address" continues to be of interest not only for its artistic merits but also for its contribution to the understanding of the period's political satire.
