Dublin Core
Title
A Democrat, -or- Reason & Philosophy
Description
Charles James Fox appears as a ragged sans-culotte with bloodstained hands and a dagger cased with blood in his belt. He joyously sings “Ca ira!” while capering his right hand on his hip and holding up his left hand. Unshaven, he wears an ill-fitting wig of an artisan with the French tricolored cockade. This print is one of the first instances where Gillray blatantly connects Fox with the French army.
