Thomas Rowlandson
ARTISTThomas Rowlandson was an English artist and caricaturist of the Georgian Era, noted for his political satire and social observation.

Like other caricaturists of his age such as James Gillray, his caricatures are often robust or bawdy. His caricatures included those of people in power such as the Duchess of Devonshire, William Pitt the Younger and Napoleon Bonaparte. Rowlandson also produced erotica for a private clientele; this was never published publicly at the time and is now only found in a small number of collections.
