Etalage van uitgever Thomas Tegg te Londen after 1819

This satirical hand-colored etching by Thomas Rowlandson, created after 1819, depicts the London bookstore of Thomas Tegg. The image is a humorous critique of Tegg’s publishing practices, with a figure representing Tegg being lifted into the sky by a net of books. The text at the bottom of the image reads, "The Gnome of Literature dragging in a Sack of Apples." This refers to the abundance of cheap books being sold by Tegg. The etching is held in the Rijksmuseum and is a notable example of Rowlandson’s satirical works.
