"A Preliminary Sketch For An Illustration To 'Dr Syntax'" by Thomas Rowlandson is a notable work in the realm of British caricature and satirical art. Thomas Rowlandson (1756–1827) was an eminent English artist and caricaturist, renowned for his vivid and often humorous depictions of 18th and early 19th-century British society. His works frequently explored themes of social satire, capturing the eccentricities and follies of his contemporaries with a keen eye and a deft hand.

The character of Dr. Syntax, created by William Combe, became widely popular through a series of narrative poems that were published in the early 19th century. These poems, starting with "The Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of the Picturesque" (1812), followed the misadventures of the titular character, a clergyman and schoolmaster, as he embarked on various travels. The humorous and often absurd situations that Dr. Syntax found himself in provided fertile ground for Rowlandson's illustrative talents.

Rowlandson's preliminary sketches for the illustrations of Dr. Syntax are significant as they offer insight into his creative process. These sketches served as the foundation for the final illustrations that would accompany Combe's text. They reveal Rowlandson's ability to capture character and narrative through expressive line work and composition. The preliminary nature of these sketches also highlights the artist's iterative approach to refining his visual ideas before committing them to the final, published form.

The collaboration between Rowlandson and Combe was a successful one, with Rowlandson's illustrations playing a crucial role in the popularity of the Dr. Syntax series. The humor and vitality of Rowlandson's art complemented Combe's satirical prose, creating a cohesive and engaging experience for readers. Today, these preliminary sketches are valued not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance, offering a glimpse into the creative synergy between two prominent figures of early 19th-century British literature and art.
