Of George Murgatroyd Woodward 1760-1809 caricaturist and author the DNB notes that he "later known as Mustard George grew up in a Derbyshire town living with his father and to judge by the evidence of his later writings received a sound education. He took early to caricature ridiculing his neighbours in Derbyshire; a folio of these drawings dated 1781 is in the Derby Local Studies Library among a sizable collection of his prints drawings and book illustrations. His caricatures having caused something of a local stir he persuaded his father to let him seek his fortune in London. "Apart from two caricature prints dated 1785 designed by Woodward and published by him from 28 Cary Street Lincoln's Inn London it was not until 1790 that he made an impact on the London scene. Thereafter his output was copious. The British Museum catalogues list 525 examples of his work from the next twenty years published by Holland Fores Ackermann and latterly Tegg all leading printsellers. These prints designed by Woodward are etched by others-Rowlandson who was his friend and drinking companion Isaac Cruikshank Roberts and Williams. Woodward's original drawings are vigorous. and his value lay in his humorous ideas. "Woodward.might have rivalled Hogarth. Certainly his collaboration with Rowlandson constituted a lively if frivolous commentary on the social scene. Dorothy George described him as 'original prolific varied humorous and good-humoured' and few students of the subject would dispute her conclusion that his death was 'a loss to caricature' George English Political Caricature 1.174" Simon Heneage 'Woodward George Murgatroyd 1760-1809 Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Oxford University Press 2004.

An obese clergyman in a padded armchair on the right responds: "Orthodox principles - ah my dear friend you put me in mind of old times - when I was but a simple vicar. How I used to charm my congregation - slim as a Bedles wand - & delicate as a new wash'd surplice - but since I have been raised to higher dignities I do nothing but remain in my chair; bulky & unweildy as a Folio Church Service. - oh how elegantly I used to manage my discourses - fifteen minutes to a point by the clock under the gallery - never exceeded - short praye - text - and devision - one - two - three & away - that was my method." Plate 8. A man with a parcel under his arm bows slightly and says: "I have brought your Honor home your new suit." A stout bespectacled lawyer replies: "Suit - ah - Mr. Buckram you did not know me when I practiced in the Courts - I could have shewn you suits that would have puzzled Judge Blackstone himself - none of your simple matters - brim full of Law as a brief bag - intricate as the Temple avenues -& long as Westminster Hall - Shy Clients sometimes - but it would not do with Paul Parchment - sure to have them on way or other. - Once in never out that was my motto."

A former Minister holding his hat wearing a bag-wig and with his pocket filled with scrolls addresses a woman: "Madam - I was once a Minister and used to Negotiations I shall therefore be happy to treat with you on Matrimonial Speculation - I have ample credentials ready to ratify my powers and if you please will enter into preliminaries immediately - but let me have a sight glance at your project and be assured I will deliver to you my contre projet as soon as the definitive treaty is concluded and duly guaranteed."

ref. 62978Paris Chez Pierre Mariette 1654. Original copper-engraved map of the Arabian Peninsula 43.5 x 59 cm with contemporary outline colour refreshed and adorned with a large columnar style title cartouche. A dark impression. Paper has been washed and strengthened due to foxing. Rare map of the Arabian Peninsula first published in 1654 and one of the first large maps focused specifically on the Arabian Peninsula. Sanson's map of the Arabian Peninsula continued to influence maps of the region throughout the latter part of the 17th century. Here Arabia is divided into three regions: Arabia Petraea the northwestern area encompassing the Sinai Peninsula and Jordan Arabia Deserta the northernmost area just south of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and Arabia Felix by far the largest territory covering most of the peninsula and extending from the holy cities of Mecca and Medina in the northwest to the coasts of the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. There is great detail of mountains and rivers although there are clear geographical errors such as the exaggerated extent of the mountain ranges. Numerous villages are depicted including stopping places on the pilgrimage to Mecca Iathreb Badrahenen Gioffa and Cadaid among others as well as towns that appeared for the first time on a map of Arabia Hagair Hadrama Salamia and Iamama. Bahrain is demarcated along the northwestern shore of the Arabian Gulf. Nicolas Sanson was to bring about the rise of French cartography although the fierce competition of the Dutch would last until the end of the century. His success was partly owing to the partnership with the publisher Pierre Mariette. In 1644 the latter had purchased the business of Melchior Tavernier and helped Sanson with financial support in producing the maps. In 1657 Pierre Marriette died however his son also named Pierre co-published Les Cartes Générales de toutes les parties du Monde the following year. It was the first folio French produced world atlas. Tibbetts 98; Ankary p.98 Paris, Chez Pierre Mariette, 1654. unknown
