1757–1827
**G. Sauley [Farnham] (also known as George Saulez or George Sauler of Farnham) was a British designer of satirical prints active primarily between 1805 and 1808.**
Little is documented about his early life or artistic training. Born around 1779 in or near Farnham, Surrey, he appears to have worked locally as an amateur or occasional designer of caricatures rather than a professional studio artist. His designs were typically executed as hand-colored etchings and published in London, most notably by the prominent print publisher Rudolph Ackermann.
Sauley specialized in topical political satire, especially subjects related to the Napoleonic Wars. His compositions were often adapted or etched by more established artists, including Thomas Rowlandson. One surviving example associated with his work is the 1808 print *A Hard Passage, or Boney Playing Base on the Continent*, which depicts Napoleon in a humorous, critical light and was published by Ackermann.
Though his output was limited and his career brief, Sauley’s designs contributed to the vibrant culture of Georgian caricature. His name survives on a small number of prints preserved in major collections, illustrating how regional designers fed the London print market during a period of intense political commentary. He died in 1843.
