From Sir William Hamilton's Collection 1801

This satirical print, *From Sir William Hamilton's Collection*, was created by the British artist James Gillray in 1801. The print depicts a man in a red coat and powdered wig, standing on a block inscribed with the words "Damn'd Vizion". Gillray was a prolific political cartoonist known for his biting wit and often exaggerated depictions of prominent figures. This particular work is likely a commentary on the political climate of the time, using humor and caricature to criticize those in power. The print is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
