"United Irishmen Upon Duty" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. The artwork serves as a political commentary on the activities of the Society of United Irishmen, an organization founded in 1791 that sought to include both Protestants and Catholics in an independent Irish republic, free from British rule. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and intricate engravings, often depicted political figures and events of his time with a critical and humorous eye.

The print, like many of Gillray's works, is rich in detail and symbolism, reflecting the complex political landscape of the era. It portrays members of the United Irishmen in a less than flattering light, possibly suggesting their incompetence or the perceived absurdity of their revolutionary activities. The caricature might be seen as a reflection of British attitudes towards the Irish rebellion and the fear of revolutionary fervor spreading from France to Ireland and potentially to Britain itself.

As with other pieces by Gillray, "United Irishmen Upon Duty" would have been circulated among the British public and could have influenced public opinion on the Irish question. The print remains an important historical artifact, offering insight into the political tensions of the time and the role of satire in 18th-century society. It is a testament to Gillray's legacy as one of Britain's most influential and biting satirists, whose work continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance.
