Country Characters. London: Ackermann, [1799].

Remarkably crisp copy of Rowlandson's and Woodward’s satirical illustrations depicting tradesmen of London. The depictions range from a barber to the more obscure professionals such as an exciseman. Each character depicted is accompanied by textual bubbles, satirizing their approach to their work. In a comically unprofessional manner the doctor, in his diagnosis of a rather irritable looking gentleman, proclaims ‘Your pulse is in a better state seven or eight more Draughts will settle you’. Bobins IV, 1357; British Museum Satires 9482-87 (6 plates only).



Small quarto (275 x 220mm). 12 etchings by Rowlandson after Moutard, all coloured by a contemporary hand (very light marginal finger-soiling concentrated to plate 4, small marginal chip to plate 9). Original drab wrappers with printed yellow label to upper cover (wrappers mounted onto modern paper and the whole re-stitched, wear to the original wrappers); new dark brown cloth pamphlet case with paper label.
