"The Plumb-pudding in Danger" is a famous political cartoon by the British caricaturist James Gillray, published on February 26, 1805. It is one of Gillray's most celebrated works and is known for its satirical depiction of the geopolitical ambitions of the two leading powers of the time, the United Kingdom and France. The cartoon portrays British Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger and French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte carving up a globe-shaped plum pudding, which represents the world.

In the image, Pitt and Napoleon are seated at a table, each with a large spoon and fork in hand, eagerly partitioning the "plumb-pudding" between them. Pitt, to the left, takes a generous portion labeled "ocean," signifying the British naval dominance and colonial interests, while Napoleon, to the right, cuts into the landmasses of Europe, reflecting France's expansive territorial conquests during the Napoleonic Wars.

The cartoon is emblematic of Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to distill complex international relations into a single, impactful image. It captures the essence of the struggle for power and influence between Britain and France in a humorous and accessible manner, making it a significant piece of political commentary of its time. "The Plumb-pudding in Danger" is not only a testament to Gillray's artistic skill but also an important historical document that provides insight into the political climate of the early 19th century.

As a work of art, the cartoon is characterized by its fine detail, vivid imagery, and the exaggerated features of its subjects, which are hallmarks of Gillray's style. The piece has been widely analyzed by historians and art scholars and remains a key example of the power of visual satire to shape public opinion and political discourse. Today, the original print is held in various collections, including the British Museum, and continues to be referenced in discussions of political art and its influence on society.
