| Summary | "Rowlandson the Caricaturist; a Selection from His Works. Vol. 2" by Joseph Grego is a comprehensive collection of satirical illustrations and caricatures created by Thomas Rowlandson, written in the late 19th century. This volume includes a range of works that reflect social and political themes from 1800 to 1825, accompanied by anecdotal descriptions of Rowlandson's famous caricatures as well as insights into his life and contemporaries. The book serves as both an art historical account and a commentary on the cultural context of Rowlandson’s time through humor and wit. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the format that combines the index of the current volume with references to the first volume. This initial section hints at the structure of the book, which contains a chronological summary of Rowlandson's works alongside illustrations that capture the essence of early 19th-century British life, societal norms, humor, and politics. The opening includes a variety of titles and descriptions of the caricatures, showcasing Rowlandson's ability to blend humor with critical societal commentary, as seen in his representations of characters and events from that era. The illustrations aim to provide a vivid window into the past, through both artistic expression and narrative, exemplifying Rowlandson's unique blend of artistry and satire.
