"The Salute or The Parade" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray. Known for his sharp wit and keen eye for social and political commentary, Gillray produced this work during a period marked by significant political upheaval and public interest in military affairs. The exact date of creation is not definitively recorded, but it is believed to have been produced in the late 18th or early 19th century, a time when Gillray's career was at its peak.

Gillray's work often targeted prominent figures and institutions of his time, and "The Salute or The Parade" is no exception. The print is a vivid example of his ability to blend humor with incisive critique, capturing the absurdities and excesses of military pomp and circumstance.
