"The Tables Turn'd" is a notable political satire print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1797. This work is part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre of satirical art that critiqued and commented on the political and social issues of his time. "The Tables Turn'd" is particularly significant for its depiction of William Pitt the Younger, the Prime Minister of Great Britain at the time, and Charles James Fox, a prominent Whig statesman and Pitt's political rival.

The print portrays a scene where the roles of the two political figures are humorously reversed. Pitt, typically known for his austere demeanor and conservative politics, is shown playing the violin, a symbol of the arts and leisure, which were more commonly associated with Fox. Conversely, Fox is depicted with a ledger, a reference to Pitt's role as a steward of the nation's finances. This role reversal serves as a visual pun, illustrating the contentious and often contradictory political landscape of late 18th-century Britain.

"The Tables Turn'd" exemplifies Gillray's skill in using caricature to convey complex political messages in an accessible and entertaining manner. His work often included visual metaphors and references that would have been immediately recognizable to his contemporaries. The print is a testament to the power of visual satire in the political discourse of the era and remains a subject of interest for historians and art enthusiasts alike for its artistic merit and historical significance.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "The Tables Turn'd" was published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a long-standing professional relationship. The print contributes to the understanding of the political tensions and personalities of the time, offering a window into the public perception and commentary on the actions of political leaders. Today, "The Tables Turn'd" is preserved in various collections, including the British Museum, and continues to be studied for its artistic value and its place in the history of political satire.
