"Georgey in the Coal Hole" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, produced in the late 18th century. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and political commentary, created this work during a period of intense political satire and caricature in Britain, which often targeted figures of the establishment and the monarchy.

The print depicts a caricature of King George III, referred to diminutively as "Georgey," humorously portrayed as being trapped in a coal hole, a storage space for coal typically found below street level in houses of that era. The image serves as a metaphor for the King's perceived entrapment by political forces or situations of the time. Gillray's work often reflected public opinion and the mood of the populace, using humor and exaggeration to critique and provide commentary on political events, social issues, and prominent personalities.

"Georgey in the Coal Hole" is emblematic of Gillray's style, which combined detailed and realistic portraiture with fantastical and grotesque elements, making his caricatures both recognizable and outlandishly humorous. His prints were widely circulated and popular among the British public, contributing to the shaping of public discourse and political sentiment.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "Georgey in the Coal Hole" would have been published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a close professional relationship. The print is an example of the vibrant culture of visual satire that existed in Britain at the time, and it remains an important artifact of the era's political and social history. Today, Gillray's works are held in high esteem and can be found in various collections, including those of the National Portrait Gallery and the British Museum in London.
