Rowlandson the caricaturist; a selection from his works, with anecdotal descriptions of his famous caricatures and a sketch of his life, times, and contemporaries
A late nineteenth-century London survey of Thomas Rowlandson's caricatures, compiled by Joseph Grego and published by Chatto and Windus in 1880 for readers interested in English satire and popular humour. The pictures are pen-and-ink reproductions of crowded interiors, dancing couples, and street scenes with exaggerated faces and bodies, showing how loose line and comic gesture can carry a lively narrative in a small space.
