Rowlandson the Caricaturist, Volume 2 by Joseph Grego presents a selection from the work of Thomas Rowlandson, one of the masters of English caricature in the age of George III. This second volume continues the survey of Rowlandson’s comic and satirical art, reproducing many of his lively scenes of Georgian life and accompanying them with commentary and biographical detail.
Grego’s text sets the prints in their social and artistic context, illuminating Rowlandson’s exuberant draftsmanship and his eye for the human comedy. It is a rich record of a great comic artist. This free EPUB download is cleanly formatted for any e-reader.
