"More Pigs Than Teats; or, the New Litter of Hungry Grunters, Sucking John-Bull's-Old-Sow to Death" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 1806. Known for his sharp wit and keen eye for political and social commentary, Gillray's work often targeted the political figures and issues of his time, and this particular piece is no exception.

The print depicts a sow, labeled "John Bull," which is a personification of England, being overwhelmed by a litter of piglets. Each piglet represents a different member of the British government or political scene, all voraciously feeding off the sow to the point of exhaustion. The imagery is a biting critique of the perceived greed and self-interest of politicians, suggesting that their insatiable appetites are draining the resources and vitality of the nation.

Gillray's use of animal imagery to convey his message is both humorous and poignant, making a complex political statement accessible and engaging to the public. The title itself is a clever play on words, with "more pigs than teats" implying that there are more demands on the nation's resources than can be reasonably met, leading to a situation where not everyone can be satisfied.

This work is a prime example of Gillray's ability to blend artistry with political commentary, using exaggeration and humor to highlight serious issues. It reflects the anxieties and criticisms of early 19th-century British society, particularly in the context of economic strain and political corruption. As with many of Gillray's prints, "More Pigs Than Teats" remains a valuable historical document, offering insight into the public sentiments and political landscape of the time.
