toffsammlung Rowlandson (1756-1827) began his career
as a portrait painter and later illustrated novels. When he received a substantial
bequest from an aunt, he embraced Londons lush life and sat at the gaming tables
until his money left him. With the inspiration of his friend Gillray, he then
looked to caricature to make his living, commenting with gusto on human weakness.
