"A Rowing Type" is a caricature of Edward VII, created by the artist F.H. Manby in 1880. The artwork is a satirical depiction of the then Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, reigning from 1901 until his death in 1910. Edward VII was known for his love of leisure and sport, including rowing, which is the likely inspiration behind Manby's caricature.

The caricature is reflective of the Victorian era's fascination with social commentary through the medium of satirical art. F.H. Manby, whose full name and biographical details remain less documented in the annals of art history, captured the essence of Edward VII's character and societal perceptions of his indulgences and personal pursuits.

"A Rowing Type" is significant as a historical and cultural artifact, offering insights into the public image of the British monarchy at the time, as well as the broader social attitudes and humor of the late 19th century. The piece is an example of the genre of caricature that flourished in periodicals and prints, serving both as entertainment and as a form of political and social critique.

As a work of art, the caricature employs exaggeration and wit to convey its message, typical of the style of the time. The portrayal of Edward VII in this light-hearted and possibly critical manner would have been consumed by a public eager for glimpses into the lives of the social elite, and it contributes to the understanding of the role of the monarchy in the public imagination.

The caricature is part of a larger tradition of British satirical art, which includes the works of more renowned artists such as James Gillray, Thomas Rowlandson, and later, Sir John Tenniel. "A Rowing Type" stands as a testament to the enduring power of visual satire to shape public discourse and opinion, and it remains a point of interest for those studying the intersection of art, history, and politics during the Victorian era.
