  The Comforts of Bath: Twelve Characteristic Engravings

  London, 1798, by S.W. Fores, No.50 Piccadilly, each image individually framed and glazed.
• Notes:
  This series of hand-coloured engravings gives us Rowlandson’s visual satire on the activities at Bath, whether bathing, gaming, dining, sitting for a portrait, enjoying a concert, dancing or romancing. In each scene, the figure of the rotund visitor to the Bath provides one point of view from which to view the scene, while Rowlandson gives us an outsider’s view as well. The plates: 1. The Physicians 2. The Concert 3. The Pump Room 4. The Fish Market 5. A Day Out Riding 6. The Portrait 7. The Baths 8. The Games 9. The Dinner 10. The Dancing 11. Public Breakfast 12. Bath Races
