Humor en Satire 1809

This 1809 hand-colored etching by Thomas Rowlandson, "Humor en Satire," is a humorous depiction of the different types of content found in the magazine "Caricature Magazine". It features two figures representing "Humor" and "Satire", both in comical attire, seated and reading various editions of the magazine. The design incorporates a central banner with "Caricature Magazine" written across it, flanked by cherubs and framed with a curtain and drapery. This piece is a perfect example of the satirical art style, where societal norms and political events are frequently lampooned and depicted in a playful way.
