Excerpt from Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires, Vol. 7: Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum, 1793-1800 The period covered is one year less than that of Volume VI, and the prints described are more than proportionately fewer. The reason for this is the very great number of political satires for the year 1784, about three times the average of other years, a result of the crisis of 1783-4, followed by a general election, when many prints were used as electioneering litera ture. Many of the prints of the present volume are international props ganda, some commissioned by the Committee of Public Safety, some fostered by a Ministerial pension to Gillray. The struggle between Pitt and Fox, the leading theme of Volume VI, continues, deepened by issues of war and peace.
