Details
ROWLANDSON, Thomas (1756-1827) after WOODWARD, George Moutard (1765-1809). Horse Accomplishments. London: R. Ackermann, 1799.
Scarce suite of Rowlandson’s caricatures of horses and their riders. Each plate satirizes a different profession: the "devout" horse on its knees “constantly worshipping something or Other!,” the "political horse" poking its nose into other peoples’ business, and so on. Abbey Life 397; not in Tooley.
Oblong quarto (approx. 235 x 295mm). 12 hand-colored aquatint plates (some edge-soiling; plate 12 a little toned). Later plain red cloth portfolio.
