A democrat, or, Reason & philosophy [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[1 March 1793]eng"Fox, a ragged sansculotte with bloodstained hands and a dagger dripping blood thrust in his belt, sings "Ca ira!" He capers, right hand on his hip, left hand held up; expression and attitude suggest quasi-intoxication, a blast issues from his posteriors. On his forehead is a patch of sticking-plaster. He is unshaven and his body has a subhuman hairiness. He wears the ill-fitting wig of an artisan, with a tricolour cockade."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Temporary local subject terms: Allusion to French Revolution -- Emblems: tricolor cockades -- French democrats -- Sansculottes -- Jacobins -- Expressions of speech: c̨a ira -- Weapons: daggers.1 print : etching on wove paper, hand-colored ; plate mark 35.0 x 24.9 cm, on sheet 39.3 x 29.3 cm.Mounted on leaf 29 of volume 3 of 12.
