"The Disappointed Epicures" is a notable satirical print created by the renowned English artist and caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson, and published by William Holland in 1790. This work exemplifies Rowlandson's distinctive style, characterized by its vivid, exaggerated figures and keen social commentary. Rowlandson was a prolific artist in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, known for his ability to capture the follies and vices of his time with both humor and a critical eye.

The print depicts a scene of culinary and social disappointment, likely aimed at the indulgent and often gluttonous behaviors of the upper classes. In the image, a group of well-dressed individuals are shown reacting with dismay and frustration, presumably at the quality or absence of a meal they had eagerly anticipated. This theme of unfulfilled expectations and the consequences of overindulgence is a common thread in Rowlandson's work, reflecting broader societal critiques of excess and moral decay.

William Holland, the publisher, was a significant figure in the dissemination of satirical prints during this period. His collaboration with Rowlandson helped to popularize the artist's work and ensured its wide distribution. Holland's shop in London was a hub for those interested in the latest satirical and political prints, making it an important venue for the exchange of ideas and commentary on contemporary society.

"The Disappointed Epicures" is a fine example of how Rowlandson used his art to engage with and critique the social dynamics of his time. Through his skilled draughtsmanship and sharp wit, Rowlandson's prints continue to offer valuable insights into the cultural and social landscape of late 18th-century Britain.
