[Title Page] Caricature Magazine or Hudibrastic Mirror, By Thomas Rowlandson, Esq.r Vol. II.
[After Woodward]
Published by T. Tegg N.o 111 Cheapside. [n.d. c.1807]
Hand-coloured etching, sheet 250 x 405mm (10 x 15¾"). On paper watermarked '1816', with large margins left & right. Trimmed to plate at top & bottom. Some staining.
The title is engraved across the centre of the page. Comic Mirror' is inscribed on a half-length figure of a jester wearing a fool's cap, strung from two ribbon festoons that are centred by a bow. A ribbon loop with the words "To hold as t'were the Mirror up to Nature" is engraved beneath it. Shakespeare. Half-length figures scrutinising bound numbers (or volumes) of the Magazine are supported by one festoon with the inscription 'Country Observations on the Caricature Magazine'. A attractive woman approaches John and says, "Come on, let me look, don't keep it all to yourself." "Don't be in a hurry well these things be the drollest things ever sent into our Country," and "There is one exactly like our Exciseman," are said by two oafish men while holding an open book. As he looks through a volume, a third man remarks, "I wonder how they think of all these things." The second festoon, "Town Observations on the Caricature Magazine," features two men and two ladies (three-quarter length), who appear unattractive but rather stylish, as they enthusiastically examine the bound images. They respond with: "It is certainly very amuseing" ; "Pray Sir have they commenced the second Volume" ; "Just got the first number Ma'am from Mr Teggs." Two processions surround the sides and lower portion of the motif. 'Whimsical Characters climbing to the Temple of Fame' are located on the left. Back view of men and women ascending, perspective regressing to a circular temple where Fame sounds his horn. A chubby parson, a flirtatious military officer with a large cocked hat, and a plump 'cit' walking hand in hand with a slender woman are the people in the foreground. They see a Highlander walking ahead of them. "A Grotesque Deputation from the Temple of Momus-returning thanks for past favors and soliciting future patronage" is the text on the left. These are Lilliputian figures, with large grotesque heads of men and women, all smiling, descending from a temple that straddles Momus."The Genius of Caricature opening the Second Volume" is positioned between the two processions and forms a tail-piece. Perhaps a fantastic representation of Tegg, the man has a large smile on his face, faun's ears, and butterfly wings. He is sprawled on the ground with an open volume in his hands, which is "Caricature Magazine Vol 2d." He has "Caricature Magazine, Vol. 1" resting on his elbow. Next to him are documents with the following inscriptions: 'Bulls,' 'Anecdotes,' 'Jests,' 'Puns,' 'Bon Mot[s]', and distinct prints. BM Satires 10917.
