Title:	Wapping
Artist:	Rowlandson, Thomas (London, 1756 - 1827)
Date:	1807
Medium:	Original Etching
Publisher:	Rudolph Ackermann, Repository of Arts, London
Note:	Thomas Rowlandson: Along with Hogarth, Gillray and Cruikshank, Thomas Rowlandson is at the uppermost peak of English satirical art. Amongst these masters, however, Thomas Rowlandson was the most draughtsman and his compositions seem the closest to the truth, for he often lived the dissipated style of life he so memorably satirized. After studying in both Paris and London, Thomas Rowlandson began his career as a portrait painter. By 1782, however, he devoted himself almost exclusively to his first love; caricature and satirical art. After receiving a large inheritance, Thomas Rowlandson quickly gambled it away. Losing his fortune at a thirty-six hour card game he is known to have exclaimed, "I've played the fool, but (holding up his pencils) here is my resource."
	Working with such publishers as Rudolph Ackermann, Flores, John Fairburn and Thomas Tegg, Thomas Rowlandson designed many memorable satires single plate satires, such as this original example. In the book arts he collaborated with the famous London publisher, Rudolph Ackermann (1734-1834), to produce some of the finest satirical volumes in the history of art. These included "The Microcosm of London" (1808), the "Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of the Picturesque" (1812) and "The English Dance of Death", published in two volumes in 1815 and 1816.
	Despite his great illustrated works, Thomas Rowlandson's large, single sheet etchings remain his most famous legacy. Some (such as "Wapping") were both designed and etched by him; others were only designed by him and he also etched some compositions designed by his fellow artists and friends, such as George Moutard Woodward (known as 'Mustard George') and Henry William Bunbury (known as Henry Bunbury).
	"Wapping" was drawn and etched by Thomas Rowlandson at the height of his creative powers in 1807. The tavern boasts everything a sailor could wish for; music, dance, drink and women.
