Description: Rowlandson, Thomas (London, 1756 - 1827) toothache engraving dentist. Authentic period copper engraving Signs of age , see images The Tooth-Ache, or, Torment & Torture Artist:Rowlandson, Thomas (London, 1756 - 1827) Date:1823 Medium:Original Etching Publisher:John Fairburn, Ludgate Hill. Note:Thomas Rowlandson: Along with Hogarth, Gillray and Cruikshank, Thomas Rowlandson is at the uppermost peak of British satirical art. Amongst these masters, however, Rowlandson was the most gifted artist and his compositions seemed the closest to the truth for he often lived the dissipated style of life he so memorably satirized. After studying in both Paris and London, Thomas Rowlandson began his career as a portrait painter. By 1782, however, he devoted himself almost exclusively to his first love; caricature and satirical art. After receiving a large inheritance, Thomas Rowlandson quickly gambled it away. Losing his fortune at a thirty-six hour card game he is known to have exclaimed, "I've played the fool, but (holding up his pencils) here is my resource." Working with such British publishers as Flores, John Fairburn and Thomas Tegg, Thomas Rowlandson designed many memorable satires. In the book arts he collaborated with the famous London publisher, Rudolph Ackermann, to produce some of the finest satirical volumes in the history of art. These included The Microcosm of London (1808), the Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of the Picturesque (1812) and The English Dance of Death, published in two volumes in 1815 and 1816. Despite his great illustrated works, Thomas Rowlandson's large, single sheet etchings remain his most famous legacy. Some (such as this original example) were both designed and etched by him; others were only designed by him and he also etched some compositions designed by his fellow artists and friends, such as George Woodward and Henry Bunbury.
