“Bank Notes”
By James Gillray
Located in Southampton, NY
James Gillray (13 August 1756 – 1 June 1815) was a British caricaturist and printmaker famous for his etched political and social satires, mainly published between 1792 and 1810. Many of his works are held at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Description:
Pitt (left) as a bank-clerk, very thin and much caricatured, a pen thrust through his wig, stands behind an L-shaped counter offering a handful of bank-notes to John Bull. In his right hand is a scoop with which he sweeps up notes from the counter. John is a yokel no longer bewildered. He stands stolidly, holding out his left hand for the notes, his right hand in his coat pocket. Fox (right) wears a high cocked hat...

Hand-colored Etching "The Spanish Bull-fight" Napoleon Satire by James Gillray
By James Gillray
Located in Alamo, CA
This hand-colored etching entitled "The Spanish Bull-fight or The Corsican Matador in Danger" by James Gillray was published in London by Hanna Humphrey in 1808. It depicts a bullfight arena labelled 'Theatre Royale de I'Europe'. Napoleon is tossed and gored by the Spanish bull, which has broken the chain on its Corsican collar. Napoleon has broken his sword in the bull, injuring him (Spain), but not defeating him. Napoleon has dropped a paper to the ground which reads "Plan pour Assujettir le Monde" (Plan to Subjugate the World).
The words "The bull has trampled Joseph Bonaparte, who was forced on Spain as its monarch in June, 1808, but forced to flee Madrid." The bull further shows his disrespect for Joseph by urinating on him. Under his hand is a torn paper: 'Coronation de Joseph Boanaparte Rex Espagnol-Gibraltar-&c. Nap', presumably the invitation to his coronation. Three bulls lie on the ground in the lower right, each with a butcher's label pinned to their torsos reading: 'Prussian Bull Beef', 'Dutch Bull Beef', 'Danish Bull Beef'. These represent countries attacked by Napoleon.
The spectators include many heads of state and the pope, who is unfurling the papal bull of excommunication. The spectators are: George III, King of the United Kingdom, Francis I, Emperor of Austria, John VI...
