"The New Dynasty, or The Little Corsican Gardiner Planting a Royal Pippin Tree" is a renowned satirical print by James Gillray, a British caricaturist and printmaker celebrated for his sharp and often biting political and social satire. Created in 1808, this work is emblematic of Gillray's style, which combined intricate detail with keen political and social commentary, making him one of the foremost caricaturists of the Georgian era.

The print depicts Napoleon Bonaparte, the Corsican-born military leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution, engaging in the symbolic act of planting a tree. This "Royal Pippin Tree" is an allegory for the establishment of a new dynasty under Napoleon's rule, following his crowning as Emperor of the French in 1804. Gillray's depiction is rich in symbolism and irony, reflecting the widespread British skepticism and hostility towards Napoleon and his imperial ambitions.

In the caricature, Napoleon is portrayed in a diminutive and somewhat comical manner, a common technique employed by Gillray to undermine the subjects of his satire. The "Royal Pippin Tree" he plants represents the Bonaparte dynasty's attempts to root itself in the traditions of European royalty, despite its revolutionary origins. The artwork is filled with other symbolic elements and characters, each contributing to the overall narrative of the print, critiquing the legitimacy and stability of Napoleon's regime.

"The New Dynasty, or The Little Corsican Gardiner Planting a Royal Pippin Tree" is not only a testament to Gillray's artistic skill and wit but also serves as a historical document, offering insights into the political tensions and cultural perceptions of the Napoleonic era. The print remains a significant piece within the broader corpus of British satirical art, illustrating the power of caricature as a form of political commentary and social critique. It is preserved and studied as an important artifact of the period, reflecting the complex interplay between art, politics, and public opinion in early 19th-century Britain.
