In this charming 19th-century print titled "Dr Syntax Making a Discovery" we are transported to a picturesque lakeside scene. The artist, Thomas Rowlandson, captures the beauty of nature with a touch of humor and romance. Standing beneath a towering tree, Dr Syntax is depicted as an overweight gentleman in search of something significant. Accompanied by two women, one shyly hiding behind her book and the other confidently pointing towards the distance, Dr Syntax appears to be on an adventurous journey.
