"A Kick at the Broad-Bottoms! i.e. Emancipation of All the Talents, vide The Fate of the Catholic Bull" is a notable political cartoon by James Gillray, a prominent British caricaturist and printmaker known for his satirical works during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Published on April 9, 1807, this work is a critical commentary on the political landscape of the time, specifically targeting the Broad Bottom administration and the issue of Catholic Emancipation in Britain.

The cartoon features prominent political figures of the era, including Charles James Fox, Lord Grenville, and others, depicted in a humorously derogatory manner that was characteristic of Gillray's style. The title itself, "A Kick at the Broad-Bottoms," is a pun, referring both to the political faction known as the "Broad Bottoms" for their inclusive approach to government and to the physical act of kicking their 'broad bottoms.' The subtitle, "i.e. Emancipation of All the Talents, vide The Fate of the Catholic Bull," alludes to the efforts of the Whig party to pass the Catholic Emancipation Bill, which sought to remove many of the restrictions placed on Roman Catholics in Britain. The "Catholic Bull" mentioned in the subtitle is a double entendre, referring both to the papal bull in the context of Catholicism and to a bull in a literal sense, as depicted in the cartoon enduring a violent kick.

Gillray's work is a rich source of historical and cultural analysis, offering insights into the political tensions and social attitudes of early 19th-century Britain. His caricatures, including "A Kick at the Broad-Bottoms!," are celebrated for their wit, artistic skill, and their incisive critique of political figures and policies. This particular piece is emblematic of Gillray's approach to political satire, using exaggerated imagery and sharp humor to comment on the political debates and personalities of his time. As such, it remains a significant work for scholars and enthusiasts of political history, satire, and British art.
