This satire amongst Moutard's earliest work enthusiastically depicts all types: high- and low-born rural and urban lawyers and peddlers coaching scenes misadventures on ice-skates Oxford dons gypsies etc. "The first and most celebrated of Woodward's books. The text describes an idiosyncratic ramble around the counties of England and Wales." Gordon p. 15. George Moutard Woodward 1760-1809 was "prolific and popular designer of social caricature much in the style of Banbury etched chiefly by Thomas Rowlandson and Isaac Cruikshank.his caricatures display a wealth of imagination and insight into character.extremely entertaining" DNB. "Another popular caricaturist of the day was George Moutard Woodward commonly called 'Mustard George.' Woodward according to his friend Henry Angelo was the son of a land agent and spent his youth in a country town where nothing was less known than everything pertaining to the arts. 'A caricaturist in a country town' said Mustard George 'like a bull in a china shop cannot live without noise; so having made a little noise in my native place I persuaded my father to let me seek my fortune in town.' Thanks to a small allowance from his father supplemented by his own earnings George was able to enjoy life in his own Bohemian fashion and ultimately took up his quarters at the 'Brown Bear' Bow Street where he was able to study the inhabitants of the roundhouse and the regular attendants at the police-court. At the 'Brown Bear' he died suddenly departing in character with a glass of brandy in his hand and was long mourned by his tavern associates. In his Eccentric Excursions which appeared in volume form in 1796 the designs engraved by Isaac Cruikshank there are several domestic subjects such as The Polite Congregation Showing Family Pictures and The Formal Introduction. Among other popular designs by Woodward are Raffling for a Coffin The Club of Quidnuncs Babes in the Wood A Goldfinch and his Mistress.and a series called Six Ways of Carrying a Stick. The majority are marred by extravagant hideousness but Angelo was of opinion that 'had this low humourist studied drawing and been temperate in his habits such was the fecundity of his imagination and perception of character that he might rivalled even Hogarth" Paston Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century pp. 137-138. Gordon BC-26; Widener 207; Not in Abbey or Tooley. London: Allen & Co., 1807 unknown
