A promotional portrait of Sir Matthew Wood (1768-1843), MP for the City of London, in an oval supported by Diogenes, with the dome of St Paul's Cathedral in the background.

S. Harding delin. I Clamp sculp.
London, Pubd. by E & S. Harding, Pall Mall 21 May 1793.
Stipple, 225 x 180mm. 9 x 7".
Sir William Wood (1609 - 1691), toxophilite, born in 1609, was for many years marshal of the Finsbury archers, who held their meetings in Finsbury Fields. He was probably knighted by Charles II for his skill in the use of the bow. In 1676 his society or regiment purchased a badge or shield to be worn by their marshal, and the decoration, known as the ‘Catherine of Braganza Shield,’ passed to successive marshals till 1736, when the office was abolished. Subsequently each succeeding captain of the Easter target held it till it passed into the hands of the Royal Toxophilite Society on its formation in 1781. This society also absorbed the few remaining Finsbury archers.

Mrs. Elizabeth Woodcock, A married woman 42 Years of Age, of Impington, a Village 3 miles North of Cambridge, lost her way in returning hom from Market, on Saturday Evening, Feb.y 2.d 1799 & was buried 7 feet deep in the Snow...

Scarce engraving. 265 x 209mm (10½ x 8¼"). Damage to margin on right.
A portrait of Elizabeth Woodcock, who survived being trapped in a snowdrift for eight days. Mrs Elizabeth Woodcock, a resident of Impington and wife of Daniel Woodcock, went to Cambridge market on Saturday 2nd February 1799. She sold her eggs and butter and started to return home. Her last stopping place was The Three Tuns at the top of Castle Hill. Heavy falls of snow had already occurred when she replenished her flask with brandy and left for home on her horse. She was thrown from her horse in the fields to the east of Impington, and was unable to remount. Shaken and numbed with cold she took shelter under a hawthorn hedge. The snow drifted over her until she was completely covered. Early next morning she heard the church bells ringing for morning service. She also heard the voices of passers-by in the distance, but was unable to attract attention. On the Monday she made a hole in the snow above her and made a flag of her red handkerchief which she tied on a stick. This flag led to her discovery but not till another week had passed. On the following Sunday, the Parish Clerk of Impington, William Munsey, saw the flag while out walking, discovered Mrs Woodcock, got help, and rescued her. She had been buried under the snow for eight days, and was conscious most of the time. She heard a church clock striking the hours, and the church bells on two successive Sundays. After her rescue, tragically she did not survive long. She was taken ill and died on 24th July at the age of 43.

A selction of characters assumed by quick-change artist William Samuel Woodin (c.1825-88), during his song 'Off by the Train', part of his show, 'Olio of Oddities', at his own theatre, the Polygraphic Hall on King William Street (now part of the police station in William IV Street, near Charing Cross) According to 'The Times' of 31st December 1856: ''One of the most recent additions is a speaking-song, called the "Railway Train," in which the rapid succession of characters is perfectly marvellous. Passengers of both sexes and every shade of temper, peremptory officials, boys for luggage, "touters" in the service of hotels, are all hurried in, discussing or squabbling with each other, and every individual has his appropriate head-dress, the lower man being concealed by the table. As a mere exhibition of physical dexterity the rapid exchange of hats for caps, and caps for hats, might fairly excite admiring wonder; but still more singular are the variations of Mr. Woodin's countenance, which is twisted into as many forms of expression as would illustrate a respectable edition of Lavater.''. His 'Olio' was one of the most popular shows in London, running until late 1860, before being replaced by ' Blanchard & Woodin's Cabinet of Curiosities'
