"The Plumb-pudding in Danger" is a famous political cartoon by the British caricaturist James Gillray, first published on February 26, 1805. The satirical engraving is one of Gillray's most celebrated works and is considered a classic example of the golden age of British caricature. It depicts the contemporary political giants, British Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger and French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, carving up a globe-shaped plum pudding, which represents the world. The image humorously illustrates the voracious appetite for territorial expansion and dominance of the two leaders during the Napoleonic Wars.

In the cartoon, Pitt, characterized by his slim figure and sharp features, eagerly slices the pudding with a trident-shaped fork, a symbol of Britain's naval supremacy. In contrast, Napoleon, portrayed with a corpulent figure and a greedy expression, cuts into the pudding with a large spoon, indicative of the French land campaigns. The artwork reflects the tension and rivalry between the two nations, with each leader intent on claiming as much of the world as possible for their respective empires.

Gillray's work is notable for its intricate detail, vivid imagery, and sharp political commentary. "The Plumb-pudding in Danger" is emblematic of his style, which combined sophisticated artistry with biting satire to comment on the political and social issues of the day. The cartoon has been widely analyzed by historians and art scholars and remains an important piece of political satire, offering insight into the geopolitical dynamics of the early 19th century. It is held in the collection of the British Museum and continues to be referenced in discussions of political cartoons and international relations.
