"The Tables Turned" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, first published on April 2, 1797. The artwork is a vivid example of Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to encapsulate political sentiment through visual satire. It is held in high esteem as a significant piece of political and social commentary from the late 18th century.

The print depicts William Pitt the Younger, the Prime Minister of Great Britain at the time, engaging in a tussle with Charles James Fox, the leader of the opposition Whig party. In a literal interpretation of the idiom "turning the tables," the two politicians are shown in a physical struggle, each attempting to flip a table on which the other stands. The image is rich with metaphorical content, reflecting the tumultuous political landscape of the era, characterized by intense rivalry and the struggle for power between the two figures.

Gillray's work is notable for its intricate detail and the artist's ability to convey complex political narratives through caricature. "The Tables Turned" is no exception, as it captures the essence of the political power play with humor and artistic finesse. The print serves as a historical document, offering insight into the political dynamics of the time and the public perception of its leaders.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "The Tables Turned" was widely circulated and contributed to the public discourse of the day. It remains an important work for scholars studying the history of political satire, the art of caricature, and British political history of the late 18th century. The print is preserved in several collections, including the National Portrait Gallery in London, and continues to be a subject of study for its artistic merit and historical significance.
