[Album of caricatures and drawings] [17--?]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/688647705

An album of over 500 caricatures and drawings dating from the end of the 18th century, executed by an anonymous amateur. Some drawings are based on contemporary sources, particularly works by Thomas Rowlandson and John Collier (Tim Bobbin). Other drawings are apparently original. In addition to caricatures, drawings (executed in both pen and ink and in pencil) include landscapes, city scenes, buildings, animals and decorative motifs. Based on labels and details in some drawings, it appears the artist was probably from Cheshire.
