This definitive biographical study explores Gillray’s work through his friends, collaborations, and connections, and places it in the context of the world of print and political satire at a time when revolution and war erupted around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as an obsessive artist, Gillray was a hard-working art-businessman who struggled to make a living in politically exciting but difficult financial circumstances.
