"True Reform of Parliament" is a satirical political cartoon by James Gillray, an English caricaturist, depicting the burning of legal documents associated with the British Parliament, suggesting a call for reform or revolution. The image satirizes political figures and events in a humorous and exaggerated way, a signature style of Gillray's work. The artwork is held at The Art Institute of Chicago and is a prime example of political satire and British social commentary.
