James Gillray was a renowned artist and caricaturist in the 18th and early 19th centuries. His satirical artworks captured the political, social, and cultural scenes of his time with wit and humor. In "A March to the Bank, " created in 1787, Gillray depicted a chaotic scene outside the bank, highlighting the financial turmoil of that era.
