James Gillray: Kick-About #128

This was something I’d never have considered, that is, drawing a caricature of a current figure in the news! So, head on over to Phil Gomm’s Kick-About by clicking on the link below to see what the other Kick-Abouters have been doing.

James Gillray was a British caricaturist during the 1800’s. His etchings of the political life of the period are hugely important, he has been dubbed the “father of political cartoons”. For further information go to:

Here are my caricatures:

The Emperor’s New Clothes

The Emperor’s New Throne

We all know who they are!
