London Pubd July 2d 1808 by Tho.s Tegg 111 Cheapside
Fine etching with hand-colouring, sheet 285 x 380mm (11¼ x 15"). Trimmed within plate and tipped into album sheet
The 'Genius of Caricature' presides over a dinner table in the 'Temple of Mirth', which is adorned with caricatures from the 'Caricature Magazine' by Thomas Rowlandson and others on the walls, and folio volumes of the magazine. A toast-master holds a placard inscribed with verses in praise of the 'Caricature Magazine' and its artists (naming Rowlandson and the designer of this print, George Moutard Woodward). Woodward (1760?-1809) was a prolific artist who designed 525 prints between 1790 and his death in 1809. Of orthodox pro-government and anti-French political outlook, Woodward's forte was social satire- in this field his reputation between 1807 and 1809 exceeded that even of Rowlandson (see how his name is mentioned before Rowlandson's and underlined in the placard verses here). While his reputation has since been eclipsed, Henry Angelo, whose 'Reminisces' are the main source of biographical information on Woodward, claimed that if Woodward had learned to draw (he was self-taught) and had been more temperate in his habits (it is reported that he kept low company and drank immoderately), he might have rivalled Hogarth. However, he met an inglorious end, dying in the Brown Bear tavern (according to Angelo with a glass of brandy in his hand) and was buried at the expense of his landlord.

Pubd. Sept.r, 21st 1815. by Tho.s Palser Westminster Bridge Road, Lambeth.
Coloured etching. Image 190 x 245mm. Trimmed to plate on 3 sides. Slightly faded with one repaired tear upper right
George Wilson, the 'Blackheath Pedestrian', sets out on his thousand-mile walk, September 19th, 1815. The intention was to walk around and around the heath - a thousand miles in a thousand hours - and attracted a huge number of spectators. The walk was not completed because the authorities, fearing a riot, arrested George. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, pedestrianism was a popular spectator sport. Interest has wained, although it is still an Olympic sport.
