Biography: English Caricaturist, James Gillray trained as a commercial engraver before studying at the Royal Academy Schools. He gained a reputation as a leading caricaturist in Britain, winning him a profitable job with print seller, Hannah Humphrey. He worked and lived above the workshop and was employed there exclusively from 1790 on. His favored targets were political figures such as George III and Napoleon. Gillray was also an alcoholic who suffered from insanity from 1810 to his death five years later.
