Rules for drawing caricaturas : with an essay on comic painting
Rules for Drawing Caricaturas is an 1791 London treatise by the antiquary Francis Grose, published by Samuel Hooper, that teaches exaggerated figure drawing to amateur draughtsmen. The etched plates show caricatured types in everyday scenes, with thick cheeks, large hats, and sharp gestures, which a designer could use as a study of how exaggeration builds character through posture and costume.
