"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 humorous adventures of the fictional character Dr. Syntax, a clergyman and schoolmaster. The character embarks on various journeys, ostensibly to write a book and make his fortune, but his travels are marked by a series of misadventures and comic episodes.

Thomas Rowlandson's illustrations for the Dr. Syntax series are notable for their vivid and dynamic style, capturing the essence of early 19th-century English society with a keen eye for detail and a sharp sense of humor. The illustrations are complemented by William Combe's witty and rhyming text, which adds a literary dimension to the visual satire. The collaboration between Rowlandson and Combe proved to be highly successful, leading to the publication of 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 Dr. Syntax series is an important example of early 19th-century British satire, reflecting contemporary social and cultural issues through the lens of humor and caricature. The works critique various aspects of society, including the pretensions of the middle class, the foibles of the clergy, and the absurdities of the burgeoning tourism industry. The popularity of the series extended beyond its initial publication, influencing subsequent generations of artists and writers.

Rowlandson's Dr. Syntax series remains a significant contribution to the tradition of satirical art and literature, showcasing the enduring appeal of humor in critiquing and reflecting upon societal norms and behaviors. The character of Dr. Syntax has become an iconic figure in the history of British caricature, embodying the blend of visual and literary wit that characterizes Rowlandson's work.
