"Dr. Syntax" is a series of satirical works created by the English artist and caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson, in collaboration with the writer William Combe. The series, which began with "The Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of the Picturesque" (1812), follows the misadventures of the titular character, Dr. Syntax, a clergyman and schoolmaster. The narrative is presented through a combination of humorous verse and vivid illustrations, capturing the absurdities and follies of early 19th-century British society.

Thomas Rowlandson, known for his keen eye for social satire and his skillful, often exaggerated, depictions of human figures, brought Dr. Syntax to life with his distinctive artistic style. The character of Dr. Syntax, with his lanky frame, distinctive wig, and ever-present spectacles, became an iconic figure in British popular culture. The success of the first book led to two sequels: "The Second Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of Consolation" (1820) and "The Third Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of a Wife" (1821).

The collaboration between Rowlandson and Combe proved to be a fruitful one, blending Rowlandson's visual wit with Combe's playful and satirical verse. The series not only entertained readers but also offered a commentary on the social and cultural issues of the time, including the pretensions of the middle class, the commercialization of the picturesque, and the foibles of human nature.

"Dr. Syntax" remains a significant work in the history of British caricature and satire, reflecting the artistic and literary trends of the early 19th century. The series has been reprinted numerous times and continues to be studied for its contribution to the genre of illustrated satire. Rowlandson's illustrations, in particular, are celebrated for their lively detail and their ability to convey complex social commentary through humor and visual storytelling.
