EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Doctor Syntax Taking Possession of His Living" we are transported back to the early 19th century. Created by the talented artist Thomas Rowlandson, this image is a scene from William Combe's book "The Second Tour of Doctor Syntax, In Search of Consolation". Set outdoors on a sunny day, we witness Doctor Syntax arriving at his new place of work in a horse-drawn carriage. The proud physician stands tall and confident as he takes possession of his living. Dressed in traditional attire, he exudes authority and knowledge. Surrounded by curious bystanders, both men and women alike marvel at the arrival of this esteemed doctor. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, with white horses leading the way towards an impressive building exterior. Rowlandson's etching skillfully captures not only the transport and transportation methods of that time but also highlights the importance placed on medicine and science during this era. Through artful caricature, he portrays Doctor Syntax as a respected figure within society. This print serves as a reminder of how literature and art intertwine to create lasting impressions. It allows us to step into a fictional character's world while appreciating the craftsmanship behind it all.
