"The State Tinkers" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1780. The work is a pointed political commentary on the efforts of the government to 'repair' the state, which is allegorically depicted as a cracked globe. The print features prominent politicians of the time, including Lord North, who served as Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1770 to 1782, and his associates, who are humorously portrayed as incompetent workmen attempting to mend the cracks in the globe with ineffectual solutions.

Gillray's work is characterized by its sharp wit and intricate detail, which is evident in "The State Tinkers." The print is a fine example of the artist's ability to blend visual humor with incisive political critique. As with many of Gillray's caricatures, this piece reflects the tumultuous political climate of the late 18th century, a period marked by economic difficulties, social unrest, and the American War of Independence.

"The State Tinkers" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and historical significance. It is part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre, which includes over a thousand prints that continue to be studied and appreciated for their historical context and contribution to the art of satire. The print remains an important artifact of Georgian-era political satire, offering insight into the public perception of government and the use of visual art as a tool for political commentary.
