Dr. Syntax Searches for a Wife, by Thomas Rowlandson: 1821
Return
Thomas Rowlandson studied physiognomy, crainology, and comparative
anatomy. He felt that human beings were close to the animal, even
the inanimate due to age or excess. Rowlandson felt that people and
art were focused on human apetites: sex, eating, drinking.
