Doctor Sign Post Stop Stops Syntax
EDITORS COMMENTS
Dr. Syntax, the renowned doctor and poet from the satirical works of William Combe and Thomas Rowlandson, is depicted in this charming print as he takes a momentary respite from his horseback journey through the open country. The year is 1792, and the good doctor, dressed in his traditional long coat and hat, has come to a signpost to consult the directions. With a quizzical expression on his face, he scrutinizes the various roads indicated by the sign, perhaps pondering which path to take next. His faithful horse, tethered to a nearby tree, looks on with a patient expression, as if it has grown accustomed to the doctor's frequent stops and detours. The open countryside stretches out before them, dotted with trees and hedgerows, and the sun casts a warm glow over the scene. The intricate details of the print, from the doctor's wrinkled leather boots to the intricately carved signpost, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the printmaker. This delightful image captures the essence of a leisurely horseback ride through the English countryside, as well as the wit and whimsy of Dr. Syntax and his adventures.
