Description
London Corresponding Society Alarmed, by James Gillray, 1798
This cartoon mocks the London Corresponding Society, formed in 1792. It wanted to make the government more accountable, but was banned in 1799. This print grotesquely caricatures its members and suggests they were plotting revolution.
