"Nightly Visitors at St. Ann's Hill," created by British artist James Gillray in 1798, is a satirical political cartoon that critiques King George III. The king, shown asleep in his bed, is tormented by the ghosts of his political enemies, including Lord Edward Fitzgerald, the executed Irish revolutionary. The work is a prime example of Gillray's sharp wit and use of caricature, making it a highly sought-after example of English political satire. This work can be found in the Art Institute of Chicago.
