Description: | Colour aquatint . This aquatint print is the result of a collaboration between the English artist Thomas Rowlandson and French architectural draughtsman Augustus Charles Pugin. Pugin drew the architectural scenes and Rowlandson added the characters. It is a plate from ‘The Microcosm of London’, published by Rudolph Ackermann. Ackermann was the most important publisher of illustrated books in England during the first half of the 19th century and worked from ‘The Repository of Arts’ (the premises of his publishing business) on the Strand. Issued in monthly installments from 1808 to 1810, ‘The Microcosm of London’ eventually comprised three volumes, which together contained over 100 illustrations. | Subjects: | workhouse topography window bench walking stick woman 19th century costume table elderly woman man | Temporal: | 1809 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Thomas Sunderland (Engraver) | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
