Nimble pencils are still busy, as in the days of Rowlandson and Gillray, in recording and in influencing the trend of history.
Gillray heard of the story, and visualized it with his usual skill.
Gillray produced a caricature of a fashionable belle journeying to the Assembly Rooms at Bath in a sedan chair.
For a long time after Gillray became known as a caricaturist he continued to engrave the designs of other artists.
On the whole, most of Gillray's and Rowlandson's best work is a little too highly flavoured—too broad—for the taste of to-day.
