"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. Similarly, his work "The Battle Between Cribb and Molineaux" immortalizes an intense boxing match from September 1811, capturing the raw energy through meticulously applied hues. Traveling across continents, we find ourselves in Saltaire - a model textile factory and town founded by Titus Salt. Hand-colouring brings life to this industrial marvel near Bradford in Yorkshire, England.

Delving deeper into history reveals Torii Kiyomasu I's masterpiece "Sakata Kintoki Wrestling with a Tengu. " This stunning artwork from c. 1715/18 showcases traditional Japanese wrestling amidst vibrant hand-applied pigments. Nature takes center stage as well; behold the lusciousness of Orange Fruit captured in a hand-coloured lithograph from 1828 or the delicate beauty of Iris Germanica depicted in an engraving from 1847. These botanical wonders are brought to life by skilled hands wielding brushes laden with rich dyes. Architectural marvels also receive their fair share of artistic treatment. The Viaduct across the Sankey Valley is transformed into an enchanting sight through colour aquatints partly enhanced by hand application techniques dating back to 1831. Glimpses into satire and political commentary emerge within G. Humphrey's Caricature Shop, where the phrase "Honi. Soi. Qui.
