James Gillray, British 1756-1815- Tiddy-Doll the great French-Gingerbread-Baker, drawing out a new Batch of Kings; hand-coloured etching, signed 'Js. Gillray inv & fec' (within the plate lower right), published 23 January 1806 by H. Humphrey, 27 St. James's Street, London, 25..5 x 27.6 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Literature: M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VIII, 1947, p.85-86. Note: The title continues: 'his Man, Hopping Talley, mixing up the Dough'. Gillray’s prophetic image of Napoleon as a baker feverishly creating gingerbread monarchs expresses British anxiety over the emperor’s rapid conquest of continental Europe and his evident intent to install relatives and favourites in positions of power. Freshly baked kings of Bavaria, Württemburg, and Baden are withdrawn from the oven (ready to replace rulers defeated by the French at Austerlitz in December 1805) while a cluster of 'True Corsican Kinglings' (Bonaparte relatives) occupy a wicker delivery basket at left. Acting as baker’s assistant, French Foreign Minister Tallyrand kneads up Poland, Hungary and Turkey. Discarded monarchs are consigned to the oven’s ash-hole by the 'Corsican Broom of Destruction.' The name Gillray gave Napoleon was borrowed from Tiddy-Dol Ford, a famous London street hawker who sold gingerbread in Mayfair. [British Museum no.1868,0808.7410].
