The "Exhibition of Watercoloured Drawings by the Society of Painters in Watercolours" is a notable illustration from "The Microcosm of London," an ambitious and expansive publication that provides a detailed visual record of London at the turn of the 19th century. This particular illustration captures a scene from the exhibition held by the Society of Painters in Watercolours, which was founded in 1804 and later became known as the Royal Watercolour Society. The society was established by a group of artists who felt that watercolour as a medium was underrepresented in the art exhibitions of the time, which were dominated by oil paintings.

The illustration itself was engraved by J. C. Stadler, who was active from around 1780 to 1812 and was known for his work in aquatint engraving, a technique that allowed for the creation of prints with rich, watercolour-like effects. The original artwork for the illustration was created by Thomas Rowlandson and Augustus Charles Pugin. Rowlandson (1756-1827) was an English artist and caricaturist renowned for his satirical works, while Pugin (1762-1832) was a French-born British architect and draftsman, known for his expertise in Gothic Revival architecture.

Published by Rudolph Ackermann (1764-1831), "The Microcosm of London" was released in parts between 1808 and 1810 and eventually compiled into a three-volume set. Ackermann was a prominent art publisher, print-seller, and businessman, and his publication was celebrated for its combination of architectural precision, provided by Pugin, and the lively human scenes, contributed by Rowlandson. The collaboration between these two artists, under Ackermann's direction, resulted in a work that is both historically informative and artistically engaging.

The "Exhibition of Watercoloured Drawings by the Society of Painters in Watercolours" stands as a significant historical record of the early years of the Society of Painters in Watercolours and reflects the growing interest and development of watercolour as a respected artistic medium in Britain. The illustration is not only important for its artistic merit but also as a document of the cultural and social dynamics of London during this period.
