"A Midwife Going to a Labour" is an 1811 satirical print by the English artist and caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson. Known for his humorous and often bawdy depictions of English life, Rowlandson's work often commented on social issues of the time through vivid and exaggerated imagery. This particular print illustrates a midwife hurrying to attend a childbirth, a common event in an era when births typically occurred at home and were managed without the presence of a trained physician.

The print is characterized by Rowlandson's distinctive style, which combines keen observation with a sense of the grotesque, emphasizing the comedy of human foibles. The midwife is often depicted as a robust figure, bustling with energy and importance, reflecting the critical role these practitioners played in the lives of women and families during the 19th century. The artwork captures the urgency and the somewhat chaotic nature of the situation, with the midwife often shown carrying the tools of her trade as she navigates the streets.

As with many of Rowlandson's works, "A Midwife Going to a Labour" serves as both a piece of social commentary and a window into the customs and concerns of Regency England. The print is part of a larger body of Rowlandson's work that documents the everyday lives of people from various strata of society, from the aristocracy to the working classes. It is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the practices surrounding childbirth and the role of women as healthcare providers in the early 19th century.

Rowlandson's prints were widely circulated and popular in their time, and they continue to be studied by art historians and social historians for their rich detail and the light they shed on the period. "A Midwife Going to a Labour" remains an important example of Rowlandson's art and is held in various collections, including museums and libraries that specialize in prints and drawings from the Georgian era.
