William Blake and Thomas Rowlandson were born within a few months of each other and died in the same year, 1827.
This seems on the face of it the only thing they had in common; but Professor Paulson, author of Hogarth, his
Life, Art and Times. and of a recent study of Rowlandson, looks at them both as myth-makers and regards Rowlandson as a more profound artist than the simple cartoonist he is usually taken for.
