"Caricature, hand coloured etching" by Thomas Rowlandson is a notable example of the artist's work in the field of satirical and humorous illustration. Thomas Rowlandson (1757–1827) was an English artist and caricaturist renowned for his vivid and often exaggerated depictions of contemporary society. His works frequently provided a humorous and critical commentary on the social, political, and cultural issues of his time.

Rowlandson's technique in creating hand-coloured etchings involved a meticulous process. Initially, he would sketch his subjects, often drawing inspiration from real-life observations and events. These sketches were then transferred onto a copper plate through the etching process, which involved coating the plate with a waxy ground, drawing the image into the ground, and then using acid to etch the exposed lines into the metal. Once the etching was complete, the plate was inked and pressed onto paper to create the print. The final step involved hand-colouring the print, a task that required precision and an eye for detail to enhance the visual impact of the caricature.

Rowlandson's caricatures are characterized by their dynamic compositions, expressive figures, and vibrant use of colour. They often featured exaggerated physical traits and humorous scenarios that poked fun at the foibles and vices of various societal figures, from politicians and aristocrats to everyday citizens. His work was widely popular in his time and continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance.

"Caricature, hand coloured etching" exemplifies Rowlandson's ability to blend artistry with social commentary, making his work an important part of the visual culture of late 18th and early 19th century Britain. Through his etchings, Rowlandson captured the essence of his era, providing a window into the attitudes, fashions, and events of his day. His legacy endures as a master of the caricature genre, influencing subsequent generations of artists and cartoonists.
