"Tiddy-doll, The Great French-ginger-bread-baker, Drawing Out A Newbatch Of Kings" is a renowned satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, published on January 23, 1806. The etching and aquatint illustration, which is hand-colored, serves as a biting political commentary on the power and influence of Napoleon Bonaparte during the Napoleonic Wars. The title character, Tiddy-doll, is a colloquial reference to a gingerbread seller, which Gillray uses to depict Napoleon as a baker who concocts and dispenses monarchs as if they were mere confections.

In this caricature, Gillray portrays Napoleon in the attire of a baker, with a large apron and a baker's peel, from which he draws out new kings from an oven. The image is rich with symbolism and metaphor, as the 'new batch of kings' alludes to the puppet monarchs Napoleon installed across various European territories following his military conquests. These rulers were often members of his own family or loyal generals, thus ensuring his control over the continent.

The print is a fine example of Gillray's mastery of satire and his ability to encapsulate complex political situations in a single, impactful image. It reflects the anxiety and disdain felt by many in Britain towards Napoleon's expansionist ambitions and the reshaping of the European political landscape. The work is held in high regard for its historical significance and its contribution to the art of political satire.

As a part of the extensive body of work by James Gillray, "Tiddy-doll, The Great French-ginger-bread-baker, Drawing Out A Newbatch Of Kings" is preserved in various collections, including the British Museum, and continues to be a subject of study for scholars interested in the political history of the era, the art of caricature, and the cultural responses to Napoleon's rule.
