{"product_id":"mugg-101","title":"MUGG-101 — Thomas Rowlandson, The Recovery (Picturesque Beauties of Boswell, Part the Second) (June 20, 1786)","description":"Rowlandson's \"Picturesque Beauties of Boswell\" series, issued in London in 1786, satirised specific scenes from Boswell's recently published *Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides*, translating literary anecdote into etched burlesque with a speed that made the prints nearly journalistic. The suite appeared within months of the book's second edition, capitalising on a public already amused by Boswell's unguarded portrait of Samuel Johnson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRowlandson was thirty-two when he etched the plate, still a decade from the compulsive gambling losses that would force him into mass production for Ackermann's press. The original is held at @metmuseum in the Drawings and Prints collection. The curatorial team has reviewed the content and determined the acquisition appropriate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis work entered the collection on 2026-07-19.
