The Huntington Collection of drawings by Thomas Rowlandson is generally regarded as the largest and most comprehensive at present in a public museum. The collection offers an unrivalled opportunity for the study of this prolific artist's range of interests and the development of his technique. As a line draftsman and humorist Thomas Rowlandson was probably the finest England has ever produced. Certainly he had a wider command of comic devices and comes closer to exploiting their full potentialities than any other British artist. In this introductory essay Robert Wark discusses Rowlandson's art and illustrates the various aspects of his work by relating them to selected drawings which are reproduced in full colour. The book will be of immense value to the student of art history, and the layman will be delighted by the vigour and sheer virtuosity of Rowlandson's work.
