| Summary | "Rowlandson the Caricaturist; a Selection from His Works. Vol. 1" by Joseph Grego is a collection of caricatures and illustrations written in the late 19th century. This volume showcases the works of Thomas Rowlandson, focusing on his unique style of graphic humor and providing anecdotal descriptions of his famous caricatures, as well as a comprehensive sketch of his life, times, and contemporaries. The work appeals to enthusiasts of satire, humor, and art history, providing a glimpse into Rowlandson's prolific contributions during a vibrant period of social and political change. The opening of the volume serves as a preface where Grego sets the stage for Rowlandson's significance in the world of caricature and the challenges he faced in gaining recognition. It discusses the artist's remarkable ability to capture the absurdities and eccentricities of societal life through his work, with a particular emphasis on the colorful and vibrant age in which he lived. The preface prepares readers for an exploration of Rowlandson's whimsical and often humorous portrayals of political figures, everyday people, and various social scenarios, invoking an atmosphere of curiosity and appreciation for Rowlandson's artistic genius.
