A new exhibition of work by one of the wittiest and most popular caricaturists of Georgian Britain opens at The Queen’s Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhouse today.

High Spirits: The Comic Art of Thomas Rowlandson presents over 90 prints by Rowlandson (1757–1827), many of which have not been shown in Scotland before.  The artist’s work satirises life at the turn of the 19th century – the absurdities of fashion, the perils of love, political scandal and royal intrigue – and offers a new perspective on an era perhaps best known through the novels of Jane Austen.
