The Generae of Patriotism, or The Bloomsbury Farmer planting Bedfordshire Wheat
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking print that encapsulates the political climate of 18th-century England. Created by James Gillray in 1796, this hand-coloured etching serves as a powerful piece of anti-Jacobin propaganda. In the foreground, we see Francis Russell, the 5th Duke of Bedford, sowing coins instead of seeds into the fertile soil. This symbolic gesture represents his attempt to raise an army of sans-culottes and promote radical ideas during a time when political tensions were high. Charles James Fox is depicted as the sun shining brightly upon this scene, symbolizing his influential role as a Whig politician. The image showcases various elements associated with patriotism and rebellion. From Liberty caps adorning some figures' heads to weapons scattered across the field, it highlights both support for reform and opposition from the gentry. Richard Sheridan can be seen hitching an agricultural vehicle in the background while wearing breeches and a top hat – representing his status as an influential statesman. Gillray's masterful use of satire is evident throughout this artwork. With lightning bolts striking down on crops and gold pouring out from money sacks being planted alongside wheat, he cleverly critiques those who prioritize personal gain over national prosperity. "The Generae of Patriotism" remains not only a fascinating historical artifact but also a testament to Gillray's talent for creating visually striking yet politically charged works that continue to captivate viewers today.
