GillrayJames17571815MEnglishARTS AND CRAFTS: caricaturist James. 1757–1815, English caricaturist

As opponent he wittily follows Gillray, who in 1802 imagined an inoculated man as calving from his arms.

Gillray's name, in my estimation, outweighs Cruikshank's at the foot of such publications, while Rowlandson's weighs less.

Gillray was his master in this form of art, though the statement does not rest on the two examples here given.

These juvenile etchings bear more affinity to Gillray's manner of manipulation than is traceable in his subsequent cartoons.

The positions are reversed in the caricatures Gillray and other satirists produced on the subject.
