"Doctor Syntax" is a series of satirical works created by the English artist and caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson, in collaboration with the writer William Combe. First published in the early 19th century, the series is renowned for its humorous and critical portrayal of contemporary society, particularly targeting the pretensions and follies of the time. The central character, Doctor Syntax, is a pedantic and bumbling clergyman who embarks on various misadventures, ostensibly in pursuit of scholarly endeavors but often finding himself in absurd and comical situations.

The series began with "The Tour of Doctor Syntax in Search of the Picturesque," which was first published in 1812. This initial work was followed by two sequels, "The Second Tour of Doctor Syntax in Search of Consolation" (1820) and "The Third Tour of Doctor Syntax in Search of a Wife" (1821). Each installment combines Rowlandson's vivid and expressive illustrations with Combe's witty and satirical verse, creating a unique blend of visual and literary art that captures the spirit of the Regency era.

Rowlandson's illustrations are characterized by their dynamic lines, exaggerated expressions, and keen attention to detail, which bring the character of Doctor Syntax and his escapades to life. Combe's accompanying text complements the illustrations with its clever rhymes and sharp social commentary, making the series a notable example of early 19th-century satire.

"Doctor Syntax" enjoyed considerable popularity during its time and has since been recognized as an important work in the history of British caricature and illustrated books. The series not only reflects the cultural and social milieu of its period but also showcases the collaborative genius of Rowlandson and Combe, whose combined talents produced a timeless and entertaining critique of human nature and societal norms.
