Thomas Rowlandson
(London 1756 or 1757 - April 1827)

One of the great British caricaturists and satirists, Rowlandson was a skilled draughtsman and engraver. As a child, he is said to have learned to draw before he could write. After attending Eton and the Royal Academy, he spent two years studying drawing in Paris. Rowlandson is known for his amusing illustrations of life and politics during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
