Works by Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827), in the public domain: his pen and watercolour drawings, scenes of English life in the reign of George III, and his hand-coloured prints, published online by the museums that hold them, each linked to its museum record. The photographs are those of the museums, which place them in the public domain or under a CC0 licence. In the plates of The Microcosm of London (1808-1810), the architecture is by Augustus Charles Pugin and the figures are by Rowlandson. A print exists in several impressions; for each plate, the site shows a single impression, the best photographed among those the museums publish. The titles are those of the museums, in English or in Dutch, with their translation.
