House of Lords Library: Gillray Collection
The House of Lords Library Gillray collection was acquired in 1899 as a bequest from Sir William
Augustus Fraser (1826–1898). The collection consists of eleven folio volumes, retaining Fraser’s fine
bindings: half red morocco with elaborate gold tooling on the spines. Ownership bookplates on the
verso of the front boards show Fraser’s coat of arms and some of the prints bear his “cinquefoil in
sunburst” collector’s mark. The volumes are made up of leaves of blue paper, on to which the prints are
pasted. Perhaps surprisingly, given the age of the paper and adhesive, there is no evident damage to the
prints. Due to the prints being stored within volumes, light damage has been minimised and the colour is
still very vibrant.
The collection includes a few caricatures by other artists (such as Thomas Rowlandson) but the majority
are by Gillray. It is possible that the prints by other artists were mistakenly attributed to Gillray by
Fraser. Where Fraser lacked a particular print he pasted a marker at the relevant chronological point in
the volume, noting the work he still sought. These markers have been retained in the collection and are
listed in the Catalogue.
The collection includes some early states of prints, such as Britania in French Stays and a few prints that
are not held in the British Museum’s extensive collection. For example, Grattan Addresses the Mob is
listed in Dorothy George’s Catalogue as part of the House of Lords Library’s collection only.1 Volume I
includes a mezzotint portrait of the author by Charles Turner, and two manuscript letters written by
Gillray; one undated and addressed to the artist Benjamin West; the other dated 1797 and addressed to
the publisher John Wright. Volume II includes an original drawing by Gillray.
In his book, Hic et ubique, Fraser recounts an occasion when he showed the well-known caricaturist
George Cruikshank his Gillrays. Fraser pronounces them: “the most numerous I believe of the original
plates that exists [sic]”.2 This reference, alongside the care with which he maintained his collection,
suggest that he took particular pride in it.
At the beginning of 2016, the Lords Library was assisted by Tim Clayton, an author and specialist in
18th and early 19th-century history and culture, in the compilation of a catalogue of the Lords Library
Collection. Prior to this there was no comprehensive list of the prints within the Collection. The full
Catalogue is included an an appendix to this Note.

1. James Gillray (1756–1815)
1.1 Early Life
James Gillray was born in 1756 to a deeply religious
family who were members of the Moravian Brethren, an
exclusive Protestant group. He was educated at a
Moravian school until it closed for financial reasons in
1764, and was later apprenticed to the lettering
engraver Harry Ashby, where he began to learn the
techniques that would be essential to his career. Perhaps
surprisingly, given his upbringing, he gave up this
apprenticeship to join a company of strolling players for
a time. However, this bohemian lifestyle came to an end
in 1778 when Gillray was admitted into the Royal
‘Mr James Gillray From a Miniature Painted by
Himself’, 1819, Catalogue, vol I, 1.
Academy Schools to study engraving under Francesco
Bartolozzi. Given that some of his early work has been
said to have a “distinct flavour of pornography”,3 it is clear that he began his artistic career in a
very different spirit to that of Moravian morality.
1.2 Career as a Caricaturist
Gillray emerged as a caricaturist in the 1780s. It appears that he initially attempted to forge a
career as a serious engraver but failed “because his style was too idiosyncratic, too inclined to
distortion”.4 In 18th century Britain, caricature was considered a low art form, which explains
Gillray’s initial reluctance to follow this path. However, by 1786 his work consists almost
entirely of caricatures. Although embracing what was deemed a lower form of art, Gillray
continually demonstrates the technical ability and finesse which were the result of his Royal
Academy training. The engravings also show that he was a man of learning through their “dense
intertextuality”; containing references to Milton, Shakespeare, Horace and Homer, as well as to
popular songs.5 Yet despite the highbrow references, much of Gillray’s subject matter is bawdy
or grotesque. His audacious caricatures of members of the Royal Family, particularly George III
and the Prince Regent, showed a “coarseness and viciousness that no rivals attempted and
which amazed observers from abroad”.6 Mark Hallett suggests that Gillray’s engravings:
[…] provided viewers and consumers with a compulsive combination of the crude and
the erudite […]7
[…] his was “an art that belonged to the street and to the connoisseur’s study”.8

Gillray is particularly celebrated as a
political satirist, known for his portrayal
of William Pitt, Charles James Fox and
most notoriously, Napoleon as ‘Little
Boney’. The ‘Little Boney’ caricatures
“reverberated around Europe”9 and
Napoleon allegedly stated in exile that
Gillray did more to contribute to his
defeat than all the armies of Europe.10
While Gillray’s caricatures dealt with all
the major political issues of his time, he
was particularly occupied by the French
Revolution and its aftermath. The
September massacres of 1792 inspired
some of his most horrifying prints.
‘The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver (Plate 2d)’, 1804,
Catalogue, vol X, 7.
However, alongside these, his prints
included witty and light-hearted social
satires.
Some of Gillray’s caricatures are now obscure. His biographer, Draper Hill, said that his was:
[…] an art so wedded to the moment that nine years after he died, an editor could
complain that much of it had become unintelligible for want of explanation.11
However, his artistic brilliance is such that many of
the prints have an enduring resonance and his
work continues to inspire political cartoonists
today.
1.3 Propagandist Work
Gillray appears to have had a prevailing cynicism
about power and politics and initially satirised all
sides of the political spectrum. However, in the
1790s he struck up a friendship with George
Canning MP and in 1797 produced a series of
prints in association with the Tory magazine, The
Anti-Jacobin, in support of the war against
revolutionary France. Richard Godfrey describes
The Apotheosis of Hoche, which shows the recently
deceased French General, Lazare Hoche, rising
into a horrific ‘Paradise’ as:
[t]he most densely crowded and obviously
propagandist of his prints.12

Interestingly, this print also particularly displays Gillray’s artistic virtuoso in the abundance of
detail in the engraving. Despite Gillray’s work for the Tories, he continued to portray Pitt in an
unflattering manner, in the same year that that he started work for The Anti-Jacobin, he derided
Pitt in The Giant-Factotum amusing himself.
Gillray’s propagandist work can also be seen in a set of four prints entitled Consequences of a
Successful French Invasion which were commissioned by Sir John Dalrymple. However, Richard
Godfrey suggests that Gillray:
[…] ultimately became disenchanted with the project, resenting interference with his
ideas.13
Despite Gillray’s attitude to these prints, Plate 2nd is of continuing interest for its depiction of
the old House of Lords Chamber replete with The
Armada Tapestry hangings.
1.4 Relationship with the Publisher
Hannah Humphrey
Gillray etched for a number of publishers and printsellers, but in September 1791 he started to work for
the publisher Hannah Humphrey. In 1793 he went to
lodge over her shop in Old Bond Street (pictured in
Very-Slippy Weather) and remained in lodgings with her
until his death. There has been speculation about the
nature of their relationship; indeed they are believed
to have contemplated marriage but reports state that
Gillray changed his mind at the door of the church and
thus the nuptials did not occur.14 Towards the end of
his life, Gillray’s health deteriorated; he suffered from
mental illness from around 1810 until his death. He
attempted suicide in 1811. Gillray was cared for by
Hannah Humphreys when he became unable to care
for himself. He died in 1815, leaving everything to her.
‘Very Slippy-Weather’, 1808, Catalogue,
vol XI, 25.
1.5 Reputation and Influence
Gillray achieved considerable fame in his own lifetime; being described by a contemporary
German magazine, London und Paris, as: “the most famous caricaturist in Europe”.15 He had
disciples in Europe who named themselves after him: Gilray junior; Gilrai-Paris and GilrayLondon.16 Although much maligned by Gillray, even George III and the Prince Regent collected
his caricatures, and political figures such as Canning sought to be included in them.

However, during the Victorian period Gillray’s fame descended into infamy. Despite continuing
enthusiasm from a handful of publishers and collectors (including Sir William Fraser), he was
generally considered disreputable due to the scurrility of many of his prints. Draper Hill reveals
that sermons were preached on the tragedy of his last years—which were seen as a
punishment for his depravity.17 A writer in The Athenaeum described him in 1831 as:
[…] a caterpillar on the green leaf of reputation […] who insults inferiority of mind and
exposes defects of body.18
In the early 20th century, an American historian, Draper Hill, notes:
A large part of [Gillray’s work] […] is characterized by a foulness and an obscenity
which the present generation cannot countenance.19
Yet, although Gillray was dismissed for a long period of time, Ian Burrell, reviewing a recent
Gillray exhibition in the i newspaper, explains that:
[…] the children of the Sixties’ counterculture—the likes of Scarfe, Ralph Steadman and
Private Eye […] brought Gillray back to life.20
This revival was also influenced by
the scholarship of Dorothy George
in cataloguing the British Museum’s
Gillray prints and the work of
Gillray’s biographer Draper Hill.
Today, James Gillray is renowned as
one of the great British caricaturists.
It was Gillray who first personified
the Bank of England as the Old Lady
of Threadneedle Street and Gillray
who depicted the disease of gout so
vividly that his work is reproduced in
almost every publication on the
subject. His art continues to
influence living cartoonists, such as
Steve Bell, Peter Brookes and Martin Rowson.21 Gillray’s most famous cartoon, The Plumbpudding in Danger, is described by Rowson as:
‘The Plumb-pudding in Danger’, 1805, Catalogue, vol X, 27.
[…] the greatest political cartoon ever […] that’s why it’s been pastiched again and
again.22

Yet although Gillray’s fame and influence are secure today; he continues to divide opinion, and
is not to everyone’s liking. He has been accused of “ideological inconsistency”,23 particularly for
his changing representation of the French Revolution, and of a “precocious taste for viscera and
gore”.24 Richard Godfrey suggests that Gillray tended towards misanthropy:
Gillray scarcely knew the meaning of the
word ‘morality’ and appears to have believed
that mankind was beyond redemption.25
Diana Donald asserts that his:
[…] creative energy in style often
corresponded to something near moral
nihilism in content […] his caricatures caused,
and still cause, an acute apprehension of
disturbance and conflict.26
However, numerous visitors to Gillray exhibitions in
the 21st century have celebrated Gillray’s artistry
and delighted in his wit. Many of Gillray’s social
satires are light-hearted, rather than dark. Moreover,
Ian Hayward defends Gillray against the particular
accusation of ideological inconsistency by suggesting:
Gillray’s brilliance lay in the fact that he used
the unprecedented artistic freedoms of
caricature to expose rather than to resolve
issues.27
‘And Catch the Living Manners as they Rise’,
1794, Catalogue, vol V, 27.
Martin Rowson also defends Gillray against his alleged inconsistency, but by assailing his critics’
high-mindedness for requiring too much of him:
I’m compelled as an act of professional solidarity to say give him a break. Cartoonists
aren’t romantic heroes. For the most part we’re just hacks trying to make a living by
giving our readers an opportunity for a bit of a giggle.28
Rowson does not deny that Gillray’s work is at times raw, dark and even “filthy” but reminds
us that satire must be properly understood. He implies that Gillray should not been seen as
fundamentally misanthropic by contending:
Gillray […] 200 years after his death, still matters. Personally, I believe satire is a
survival mechanism to stop us all going mad at the horror and injustice of it all by
inducing us to laugh instead of weep.29

2. William Augustus Fraser (1826–1898)
The House of Lords Library acquired its Gillray collection in 1899 as a bequest from Sir
William Augustus Fraser. He was the fourth baronet (1826–1898).
Fraser is remembered as an MP, author and prolific collector. His enthusiasm for collecting
pervades his published works, which bring together an array of anecdotes relating to famous
figures such as Wellington, Disraeli and Napoleon III. As a collector, Fraser did not only acquire
works of art but also objects which belonged to famous men he admired. His will included
bequests to a number of institutions besides the House of Lords Library: he left Dickens’ chair
to the Athenaeum; Nelson’s sword to the United Services Club; Byron’s sofa to the Garrick
Club; the manuscript of Gray’s Elegy to Eton College; and ten volumes of John Doyle’s
caricatures (commonly known by the pseudonym HB) to the House of Commons Library.30
Fraser had a short military career, rising to the rank of Captain, before deciding to enter
politics. He was elected Conservative Member of Parliament for Barnstaple in 1852 but the
election was declared void due to bribery and, as a result, the constituency was disfranchised
for two years. Fraser was subsequently elected in 1857 but defeated in 1859. This pattern was
repeated in 1863, when he was chosen without opposition at a by-election but lost his seat
again two years later. In 1874 he was elected for Kidderminster and held this seat until his
retirement in 1880.31 In the course of his Commons career, Fraser spoke on subjects as varied
as the military, prison regulations, railways and architecture. We also see his interest in
collecting, and possibly a consideration of future bequests, in a contribution regarding the
National Gallery:
SIR WILLIAM FRASER said, he trusted that due provision would be made in any new
building for pictures which might be bequeathed to the nation. He believed that a large
number of bequests might be made to the country if a gallery of adequate dimensions
were built to receive them. Persons who might be induced to leave their pictures to the
nation were now deterred by the apprehension that they would be thrust into some
hole or corner where no one could see them.32
The National Gallery was not included amongst recipients of Fraser’s bequests; nor did he
donate to them in his lifetime.

Wove paper is better adapted for a wash of watercolour and was in common use after about 1790.
They can be of various kinds. Progress proofs were taken to see how an incomplete engraving was coming along;
publishers sometimes printed editions of proofs before the lettering was added or with the lettering etched or
incomplete. Other states represent changes made after the plate was published, most frequently when the copper
plate changed hands and a new publisher’s address replaced the original one. Different states are listed, the one

there’s one case, which I plainly beheld, of the / “horrors attending on the vile system of
Coercion; - see, see, how the bar- / “barous Soldiery are putting out the Candle in a Home
where a Child has / “just taken ill of convulsive fits in the houping Cough; - look how the
unhappy / “Father rightemonstrates against the cruel order, don’t you see, my Lords, how /
“the distracted Mother on her knees, requests permission to continue the / “Rush Light? - do
you think my Lords, that all this scene of Distress / “is merely the Chimera of my own
disorder’d Ideas? or that my Intellects / “are disorganis’d because ye Moon’s at the full? - ah, no!
- if you have any / “perception, do but look & be convinced of the truth; behold how the feel /
“-ing & pathetic remonstrance of the Parent is rejected, the house is / “broken into, & the

“knew, that the blue hairs were the hairs of the Ram’s blue Tail: - noble Lords may / “stare, but
the fact is as I relate it - this Moll Coggin, was the fiend who raised the Oak- / -”boys to
Rebellion: - I was also acquainted with the two Cow boys, mention’d by my Father, / “they
were my Tenants, & were certainly endowed with supernatural powers, I have / “known one of

Siege de la Colonne de Pompée. Science in the Pillory. It appears by an Intercepted Letter from
General Kleber, dated “Alexandria, 5 Frimaire, 7th Year of the Republic”, that, when his
Garrison was obliged to retire into the New-Town at the approach of the Turkish Army under
the Pasha of Rhodes, a party of the Scavans, who had ascended Pompey’s Pillar for Scientific
Purposes were cut off by a Band of Bedouin Arabs, who having made a large Pile of Straw and
dry Reeds at the foot of the Pillar, set Fire to it, and rendered unavailing the gallant Defence of
the learned Garrison, of whose Catastrophe the above Design is intended to convey an idea. To study Alexandria’s store / Of Science, Amru deem’d a bore; / And, briefly, set it burning. /
The Man was Ignorant, ‘tis true, / So sought one comprehensive view / Of the Light shed by
Learning, / Your modern Arabs, grown more wise, / French vagrant Science duly prize; /
They’ve fairly bit the biters. / They’ve learnt the style of Hebert’s Jokes; / Amru to Books
confin’d his Hoax; / These Bedouins roast the Writers., Etched by Js. Gillray, from the Original

sufficient proof of an Impartiality and Fidelity, which cannot be too much commended; - indeed,
we must suspect that his view of the flagitious absurdities of his Countrymen in Egypt, is nearly
similar to ours, and that he took this method of pourtraying them, under the seal of confidence
