"Fungus, at length, contrives to get-Deaths Dart into his Cabinet" is an illustration by the renowned English artist and caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson, featured in the publication "The English Dance of Death," which was published by Rudolph Ackermann between 1814 and 1816. This work is part of a larger series that explores the theme of death through a series of satirical and often darkly humorous illustrations, accompanied by verses written by William Combe.

Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827) was a prominent figure in the world of British art, known for his keen eye for social satire and his ability to capture the eccentricities of 18th and early 19th-century English life. His collaboration with Ackermann and Combe on "The English Dance of Death" is one of his most celebrated achievements. The series draws inspiration from the medieval concept of the "Danse Macabre," a symbolic representation of the universality of death, which spares no one regardless of their social status or wealth.

In "Fungus, at length, contrives to get-Deaths Dart into his Cabinet," Rowlandson employs his characteristic style, marked by fluid lines and expressive characters, to depict a scene where the personified figure of Death is cleverly ensnared by a character named Fungus. The illustration is rich in detail and imbued with a sense of irony, as it portrays the futile human endeavor to outwit or control death. The accompanying verse by Combe adds a layer of narrative depth, providing context and enhancing the viewer's understanding of the scene.

The publication of "The English Dance of Death" by Rudolph Ackermann, a notable publisher and bookseller of the time, ensured that Rowlandson's work reached a wide audience. Ackermann's reputation for high-quality prints and his innovative approach to book publishing played a significant role in the success of this series. The collaboration between Rowlandson, Combe, and Ackermann resulted in a work that remains a significant example of early 19th-century British art and literature, reflecting the period's preoccupation with mortality and the human condition through a lens of wit and satire.
