James Gillray's 1807 caricature of the breakup of the Ministry of All the Talents, a national government formed by Lord Grenville upon his appointment as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. With the country at war with France, Grenville aimed to form the strongest possible government and so included most leading politicians. However, they failed to bring a conclusion to the war and broke up over the issue of Catholic Emancipation.
