A complete specimen (with advertisement at end) of this humorous and engaging social and political satire just before the French Revolution. The 18 colored plates are by English artist and caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827). Rowlandson is known for his political satire and social observation. He was a prolific printmaker, and illustrated many novels, humorous books, and topographical works. Like other caricaturists of the Georgian Era (Gillray, Cruikshank), his caricatures are often robust or bawdy.
Condition: Near fine.
WILLIAM COMBE (1742 – 1823) was a British writer best known as the author of The Three Tours of Doctor Syntax, a comic poem, illustrated by artist Thomas Rowlandson's color plates. He also wrote the texts for various illustrated books, including Oxford, Cambridge and Westminster published by Ackermann.
