EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of "The Travels of Doctor Syntax" a popular series of works by Thomas Rowlandson in the early 19th century. Created around 1820 in Manchester, this unknown artist brings to life the comical escapades of Doctor Syntax through an intricately designed cotton plain weave fabric. In this whimsical scene, we witness Doctor Syntax on his trusty steed as he encounters various misfortunes during his travels. Engaging with a grave-digger and seeking refuge from a charging bull by climbing a tree, our protagonist's hilarious antics unfold before us. However, it is outside a grand castle where he meets his ultimate downfall - tumbling over himself in classic slapstick fashion. Printed using engraved roller printing techniques, every intricate detail comes to life on this decorative furnishing fabric. The monochrome color scheme adds depth and character to each element captured within its patterned design. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported back to 19th-century Britain.
