Councillor Ego - ie - little i, myself i, 1798
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by artist James Gillray. The image portrays Thomas Erskine, the 1st Baron Erskine, an influential figure in British politics during the 18th century. In this satirical caricature, Erskine is depicted facing left with a confident gaze and adorned in traditional Counselor's attire including a wig, gown, and bands. The focal point of the artwork is the sheet of paper held by Erskine which is liberally inscribed with 'i' and 'me', symbolizing his notorious egotistical speeches. Above his head rests a cap of Liberty embellished with a tricolor cockade representing political freedom. This clever allusion highlights Erskine's self-centered nature while also commenting on his role as Lord Chancellor. Gillray's engraving skillfully captures the essence of this Scottish statesman who played a significant role in British politics as part of the Whig party. The monochrome composition adds depth to the portrait while emphasizing its historical significance. This print can be found at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery where it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an insightful commentary on power dynamics within politics. It offers viewers a glimpse into the personality traits that defined prominent figures like Thomas Erskine during this era.
