The Union Club. An 1801 satire by James Gillray on the effects of the Acts of Union 1800 when the Parliaments of Great Britain and Ireland merged to form the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The apparant bonhomie in the foreground between various political figures is contrasted with the brawling in the background.
