Help with political sketch artist

by wang_bang

Hello! So, my girlfriend mentioned something to me the other day about a political sketch artist who she likes, and a particular illustration by him. I thought it would be nice to hunt down a print as a Christmas present but I've totally forgotten his name and am trying to avoid asking again.

I do know that she studied the French Revolution in her history degree but not 100% sure that's relevant. The artist commonly satirised a politician called Fox by throwing in foxes in his drawings, and apparently also used the image of a boot to symbolise another politician(?) who was know as Boot. There was a specific illustration referencing gout as well.

This may be an insanely wide net to cast but I thought someone might be able to recognise it from my description! (Yes, I will pay better attention in future...)

This is James Gillray, a British cartoonist who worked at the turn of the 18th and 19th Centuries. Lots of reproductions of his cartoons are widely available.
