English wit and humor, Pictorial; Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827
_No Date._ (1811?). _Preparing for the Race._ Published by T. Tegg.
[Illustration: PREPARING FOR THE RACE.]
1811 (?). _Awkward Squads Studying the Graces._ Published by T. Tegg
(87). Woodward del., Rowlandson sculp.--Six stages, displaying the
difficulties encountered by a French dancing master in labouring to
instruct unconquerably clumsy and elderly pupils, who obviously possess
no sort of aptitude for movement or grace.
1811. _Hiring a Servant._ Published by T. Tegg (124).--An elderly
couple in a genteel station of life are seated at the breakfast-table;
to them enters a simple country maiden, with a pretty and innocent
face, her arms modestly folded, as an applicant for a place. 'What
situation in my family would you wish to undertake, young woman?'
enquires the lady of the house. 'Ma'am,' replies the unsophisticated
maiden, 'I should like to be under your man-cook by way of
improvement.' This _naïf_ remark is misconstrued, to the manifest
delight of the fat _chef_, who is rolling about and rubbing his round
sides with amusement.
1811 (?). _Anglers of 1611._ Designed by H. Bunbury, and etched by
T. Rowlandson.--A pretty group, founded on the piscatorial pastoral
of Izaak Walton. Venator is seated with his arm round the waist of the
pretty milkmaid. Maudlin, her mother, a quaint old dame, is discoursing
wisdom. Piscator is, with folded arms, leaning on his fishing-rod; at
his feet are two fine trout. Peter is whipping a stream in the rear.
The scenery is pretty, and the figures are neatly and expressively
filled in. The design, which is by Bunbury, it is easy to recognise has
gained considerable force from the spirited execution his contemporary
has brought to bear on the etching. Companion to _Anglers of 1811_.
1811. _Anglers of 1811._ Designed by H. Bunbury, etched by T.
Rowlandson.
1811. _Patience in a Punt._ Designed by H. Bunbury, etched by T.
Rowlandson.
1811 (?). _A Templar at his Studies._ Published by T. Tegg.--The
chambers of a fast member of the Bar; breakfast is on the table, and
the apartment is in a litter of bottles, hunting-boots, guns, whips,
law-books, briefs, papers, and general disorder. The student has
evidently been to a masquerade overnight; portions of the dress of a
Grand Turk are scattered about; moreover a lady is in his chambers,
who is performing her toilette at a gilt mirror standing on his
breakfast-table. The Templar, semi-clad, is sleepily trying to look
through a bundle of briefs and law papers.
1811. _A Family Piece. (The Portrait Painter.)_ Designed by H. Bunbury,
engraved by T. Rowlandson.
