"Loyal Souls or A Peep into the Mess Room at St James's" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. The work is a pointed commentary on the political and social climate of the time, particularly focusing on the perceived loyalty and behavior of certain military officers during a period of political unrest.

The etching, which is typical of Gillray's detailed and often biting style, depicts a scene in the mess room at St James's Palace, where officers are gathered. The title "Loyal Souls" is laced with irony, as the print portrays the officers in a less than flattering light, suggesting gluttony, drunkenness, and a lack of genuine loyalty to the crown or the country. The artwork serves as a visual critique of the establishment and the hypocrisy Gillray saw within the ranks of the military elite.

As with many of Gillray's works, "Loyal Souls or A Peep into the Mess Room at St James's" is rich in detail and symbolism, with each character and object potentially holding a deeper meaning or reference to contemporary events or figures. The print is an example of the artist's skill in using humor and caricature to influence public opinion and contribute to political discourse.

Gillray's prints were widely circulated and popular in their time, and they continue to be studied for their historical significance and artistry. "Loyal Souls or A Peep into the Mess Room at St James's" is part of Gillray's extensive body of work that provides insight into the political tensions and societal issues of late 18th-century Britain.
