Although Gillray continued to live as a border with Hannah Humphrey until his death in 1815, by 1810 his creative life was virtually at an end. Sixteen of the seventeen prints produced by Gillray in 1810 were social or comic caricatures which didn't depend upon timeliness and currency to be effective.
A Little Music, or the Delights of Harmony (1810) is almost certainly the best of the lot, showing what Gillray could still do when his physical and mental health allowed. But it may be based on a drawing he had done earlier. There is an untitled lithograph print in the British Museum attributed to Gillray and dated 1804 which contains figures similar to those in A Little Music and may suggest that he had been working on a print like this for some time.
