Gillray Caricatures: Clubs

Gillray's prints include a number of references to clubs. In A smoking club (D12470) he likens the House of Commons to a smoking club in which members rudely blow smoke at each other. The signpost in The kettle hooting the porridge-pot (D12986) points to Brooks's club, at which Charles James Fox had built up large gambling debts.
