Spotprent op Charles James Fox, 1798 Possibly 1798

"Spotprent op Charles James Fox" is a political cartoon created in 1798 by Isaac Cruikshank, a prominent British caricaturist. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, portrays Charles James Fox, a prominent Whig politician, as a caricatured soldier loaded with "sinews of rebellion" and "remembrances from France." This satirical print reflects the anxieties of the British public during the French Revolutionary Wars, using visual exaggeration to criticize Fox and his perceived support for revolutionary ideals. The image is a powerful example of how political cartoons can shape public opinion and document historical events.
