Description: Humorous 1800s British Thomas Rowlandson "Taking a Fly" Fishing Print This humorous antique print was made by famous English caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson in the early 1800s and then later reprinted by Thomas Mclean in London around the 1870s. The piece is in very nice condition with only minor nicks to the frame. Framed behind glass. Thomas Rowlandson (1757 – 1827) was an English artist and caricaturist of the Georgian Era, noted for his political satire and social observation. A prolific artist and printmaker, Rowlandson produced both individual social and political satires, as well as large number of illustrations for novels, humorous books, and topographical works. Like other caricaturists of his age, his caricatures are often robust or bawdy. Rowlandson also produced highly explicit erotica for a private clientele; this was never published publicly at the time and is now only found in a small number of collections. His caricatures included those of people in power such as the Duchess of Devonshire, William Pitt the Younger and Napoleon Bonaparte. The dimensions of this awesome piece are 15 1/4" wide x 12 1/4" high (frame) / 10" wide x 8" high (print). A great piece and an excellent gift, especially for friends of fishing!
