A creamware commemorative mug, c.1815, printed in black and hand-coloured after James Gillray with a satirical scene of a glutton slicing into a side of roast beef, entitled 'British Slavery', flanked by Britannia and a scroll, cracked, 14.6cm.
Gillray's anti-Gallican cartoon, published by Hannah Humphries on 21st December 1792, contrasted the excesses of the French revolutionaries as compared to the dignity of the Englishman, albeit obsessed by tax. Cf. David Drakard, Printed English Pottery, pp.168-169.
