"Hand-Coloured: A Kaleidoscope of Vibrant Hues and Artistic Expression" Step into a world where colors come alive, as we explore the captivating realm of hand-coloured art. From historical engravings to whimsical caricatures, each piece tells a unique story through its vivid palette. In December 1792, Thomas Rowlandson's "The Contrast" mesmerizes with its contrasting shades, showcasing the stark differences in society during that time.

Glimpses into satire and political commentary emerge within G. Humphrey's Caricature Shop, where the phrase "Honi. Soi. Qui.
