James Gillray Sold at Auction Prices

Caricaturist, Etcher, Engraver, Illustrator, Wood cutter, b. 1756 - d. 1815

James Gillray (13 August 1756 or 1757 – 1 June 1815) was a British caricaturist and printmaker famous for his etched political and social satires, mainly published between 1792 and 1810. Many of his works are held at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Gillray has been called "the father of the political cartoon", with his works satirizing George III, prime ministers and generals. Regarded as being one of the two most influential cartoonists, the other being William Hogarth, Gillray's wit and humour, knowledge of life, fertility of resource, keen sense of the ludicrous, and beauty of execution, at once gave him the first place among caricaturists.

    Est: £200 - £300

    Gillray (James). Tiddy-Doll, The great French Gingerbread-Baker ..., 1806 * Gillray (James, 1756-1815). Tiddy-Doll, The great French Gingerbread-Baker drawing out a new batch of Kings - his Man Hopping Talley mixing up the Dough, London: Hannah Humphrey, 1806, etching with contemporary hand colouring on wove paper, some glue and adhesion marks to the margins on verso and recto, 255 x 380 mm QTY: (1) NOTE: BM 10518. The three kings being taken out of the oven reflect the provisions of the Treaty of Pressburg (26 November 1805) where Austria renounced rights over Bavaria, Wurttemberg and Baden. The little dough viceroys, although untitled, represent the Whig politicians Sheridan, Fox, Moira and Derby, and are a vicious sideswipe at their policy of Appeasement. Gillray defends the English audience against the threat of Napoleon by making him look decidedly unthreatening. Standing in an apron and dwarfed by his enormous hat, Napoleon is made into a laughable figure. The caricature of Talleyrand in the background cruelly depicts his surgical shoe, wrongly placed on his left foot.

    Est: £2,000 - £3,000

    James Gillray,  British 1756-1815-  Sketches of a man, from the artist's studies of Portsmouth;  pencil, pen, brown ink, and watercolour on paper, numbered '50/2' in pencil (central left), bears watermark for J. Whatman's 'Royal Size' (upper left), 19.1 x 12.6 cm.  Provenance:  with Thomas Agnew & Sons, London.  Private Collection, Herefordshire.  Private Collection, Hampshire. Note:  The present sketches were very likely produced by Gillray during his visit to Portsmouth in 1794, and his resulting famous naval Portsmouth series, which had been commissioned as preparatory material by the French-born British painter Philip James de Loutherbourg (1740-1812) for his painting 'Glorious First of June'. This lot is very similar in style and execution to the contents of an album in the collection of the British Museum, that came from the estate of de Loutherbourg (via Colnaghi, 1868), connected with Loutherbourg's 1793 painting 'The Siege of Valenciennes' and its 1794 pair, 'Lord Howe's Victory' and containing multiple drawings by Gillray. De Loutherbourg employed Gillray’s assistance on several occasions, including his 1793 trip to Flanders. See L. Binyon, 'Catalogue of drawings by British artists, and artists of foreign origin working in Great Britain', v.III, London, pp.69-77, under 'de Loutherbourg'. Watercolours by Gillray appear rarely on the market, and this is a particularly fine example. We are grateful to Tim Clayton and Jim Sherry for confirming the attribution of the present lot, and for their assistance in the preparation of this catalogue entry.
