"The Tables Turn'd (Billy in the Devil's Claws, Billy Sending Thedevil Packing)" is a satirical etching created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray. Published on February 1, 1786, this work is a vivid example of Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to comment on the political and social issues of his time through visual satire. James Gillray, often hailed as one of the greatest caricaturists of the 18th century, used his art to critique and lampoon public figures and events, making his works both popular and controversial.

In "The Tables Turn'd," Gillray employs his characteristic style of exaggerated features and dynamic composition to depict a dramatic and humorous scene. The etching portrays a character named Billy, who is caught in a struggle with the devil. The title suggests a reversal of fortunes, with Billy initially in the devil's clutches but ultimately managing to send the devil packing. This narrative of triumph over evil or adversity is a common theme in Gillray's work, reflecting the turbulent political landscape of the time.

The etching is rich in symbolism and detail, inviting viewers to explore the deeper meanings behind the caricature. Gillray's use of allegory and personification allows him to comment on broader societal issues, such as corruption, morality, and power dynamics. The work is also notable for its technical execution, showcasing Gillray's skill in etching and his ability to convey complex ideas through a single image.

"The Tables Turn'd" is part of a larger body of work that has cemented James Gillray's legacy as a master of political satire. His etchings remain influential, offering insight into the historical context of the 18th century and the enduring power of satire as a form of social commentary.
