The Queens Gallery - High Spirits: The Comic Art of Thomas Rowlandson

null

Rowlandson was working at a time when English satirical prints were prized by collectors across Europe. A number of the works in the exhibition were purchased by George, Prince of Wales, later Prince Regent and King George IV. Ironically the Prince was often the butt of caricaturists' jokes and sometimes tried to prevent the publication of images he felt were particularly offensive.

Throught Rowlandson's drawings and prints, the exhibition examines life at the turn of the 19th century.
