"Tiddy Doll the Great French Gingerbread Maker Drawing Out a New Batch of Kings His Man Hopping Talley Mixing Up the Dough" is a satirical etching by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, produced in 1806. The artwork serves as a biting political commentary on the European political landscape of the early 19th century, particularly focusing on the influence and actions of Napoleon Bonaparte, who is depicted as a gingerbread maker.

The title of the piece itself is a parody, mocking the grandiose titles often given to European monarchs and leaders, while simultaneously reducing Napoleon to the level of a confectioner, trivializing his ambitions and conquests. In the etching, Napoleon is shown baking new kings, which represents his power to create monarchs in countries he had conquered or influenced. His assistant, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, known as Talleyrand, is depicted mixing the dough, symbolizing his role in shaping French foreign policy and his reputation for political maneuvering.

Gillray's work is characterized by its intricate detail, sharp wit, and rich allegorical content. The etching is filled with symbolism and visual puns, reflecting the artist's critical view of the power dynamics at play and the reshaping of the European political order by Napoleon's hand. The image of baking kings like gingerbread cookies serves as a metaphor for the manufacturing of puppet rulers by the French Empire.

As a piece of historical and political satire, "Tiddy Doll the Great French Gingerbread Maker Drawing Out a New Batch of Kings His Man Hopping Talley Mixing Up the Dough" is an important example of Gillray's contribution to the art of caricature. It offers insight into the public perception of Napoleon's expansionist policies and the political machinations of the era. The etching remains a significant artifact of British visual culture, reflecting the power of satire as a form of social and political critique during a tumultuous period in European history.
