Light Expelling Darkness,-Evaporation of Stygian Exhalations,-or-The Sun of the Constitution, Rising Superior to the Clouds of Opposition Possibly 1795

James Gillray's satirical print *Light Expelling Darkness* (c. 1795) depicts the British monarchy, represented by a chariot driven by King George III, rising above the "Clouds of Opposition," composed of those who oppose the King and his government. The King drives a chariot pulled by a lion, a symbol of British strength, while an angel bearing the scales of justice flies ahead, symbolizing the impartial rule of the Crown. Gillray's use of caricature and symbolism makes this a striking example of British political cartooning from the late 18th century.
