"United Irishmen in Training" 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 that sought to end British rule in Ireland and to establish an independent Irish Republic. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and often scathing visual critiques, uses this piece to lampoon the Irish revolutionaries, depicting them in a less than flattering light.

The print portrays the United Irishmen engaging in military drills, but instead of appearing disciplined and formidable, they are shown as a ragtag and somewhat comical group, undermining the seriousness of their revolutionary intent. Gillray's caricature reflects the British establishment's view of the Irish rebels during a time of political unrest and upheaval, as Ireland sought greater autonomy and independence from British control.

As with many of Gillray's works, "United Irishmen in Training" is rich in detail and symbolism, with each character and element carefully chosen to convey a specific message or critique. The print would have been circulated among the British public, contributing to the political discourse of the time through visual satire. Gillray's work remains an important historical artifact, offering insight into the political tensions and cultural perceptions of the late 18th century.

The print is an example of the significant role political cartoons and satire played in shaping public opinion and political debate during the era. As with other works by James Gillray, "United Irishmen in Training" is held in high regard by historians and art scholars for its intricate craftsmanship and its impact on the political satire genre. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance in the context of British and Irish relations.
