"Two designs on one plate, divided by the title. [1] A hussar officer riding in front of his men mismanages his mount, so that it rears slightly, and he is about to slide off. He shouts "March, Trot, Canter, Charge, halt, halt, halt, I mean." He has dropped a trumpet from which issues a blast: "Oh what a Ninny I was to throw Myself off, they're laughing at me avarice Vanity False friendship, Ingratitude, Double dealing, absurdity, Hippocracy, Malice, Cut down Countenance." His sabre lies on the ground, and five riding-switches which have been rolled up in the cloak fastened to the saddle fall from it. On the ground is a paper: 'hints to bad horsemen'. The men (right) gallop up in perfect order holding their sabres erect. One says: "Our Young Whip is not an Old Jockey". In the background (left) is a church or cathedral (perhaps intended for Salisbury), with trees and houses. [2] The rider has just picked himself up (right); the horse, still rearing, looks over its shoulder to say: "You seem more frightened than hurt, You have been taught the Value of Whips more than the use of them." A soldier, holding the trumpet, has ridden up and halts between horse and rider; he says: "I hope your Honor is not hurt." The officer answers: "I am not hurt upon My honour." The men galloping (right) say: "Why our Captain needn't a fallen.""--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The ... inscription, but not the signatures, is on a conventional curtain symmetrically arranged across the design, centred by a laughing mask of John Bull type. The design is flanked by a woman (left) and a man (right) seated and laughing, both ugly and elderly, both holding a print in which their heads and shoulders are reflected as if in a mirror. The curtain drops on each side of the central mask to disclose caricature heads, closely grouped, as if in the gallery of a theatre. Those on the left are directed to the right, those on the right to the left; a few are women. Most are amused, some scowl, one sleeps, one yawns. On the lower edge of the design, below the feet of the couple holding the prints, are burlesque 'Lilliputian' figures, characteristic of Woodward, see British Museum Satires no. 9635, &c. They diminish in scale from right and left towards the centre, where the curtain touches the base of the design. The two exterior figures (right and left) are zanies or pierrots. A man stands chapeau-bras looking through his glass at tiny figures at his feet."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A crowd struggles from the open hall-door (left) to the staircase (right) of a 'cit's' mansion. A servant out of livery stands on the stairs shouting: "Ladies, and Gentlemen--you need not crowd so--my Mistress says all the rooms are full above stairs--and have been so this half hour --you may possibly find standing room in the Breakfast Parlour and that is all". At the open door is an arm holding a flambeaux and a section of a coach. A footman shouts "Lady Bun. Bullers Carriage stops the way!!" A man holds up on his cane a wig simulating natural hair ornamented with feathers, &c., shouting, "Any Lady lost a wig". A fat bald woman near the stairs shouts back: "Here, Here, I own the Wig!" A very fat 'cit' mops his face, holding his hat and wig; he says: "I have lost your Mother in the Mob. but I dorse to say--she'll take care of herself oh Bet! Bet! I wish I was back again in Cateaton Street this d--d stiff collar makes [sic]". A diminutive girl hanging on his arm says: "Dear Papa dont be so vulgar we shall get in time". A very fat woman in front drinks from a bottle, saying, "I have lost Mr Dowlass but here is my comfort". Between the pair, a fashionably dressed man, holding a large opera-hat, shouts: "Open the Ventilators". A woman says: "What a delightful squeeze". Another steps across a prostrate man, saying, "Bless me Sir where are you getting to". He answers: "I beg your Ladyships pardon". Men (one wearing the red ribbon of the Bath) and women try to storm their way up the lower stairs, despite the obstructing servant."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The design is surrounded on the upper and side margins by a festooned curtain; from this, in the upper corners, smiling heads look out supporting a chain of prints, small copies of plates in the volume, overlapping one another. These form a border to the central figure, who stands, like a showman, addressing the spectator, arms extended, opera-hat in his right. hand. He resembles the man who stands chapeau-bras in British Museum satire No. 10889. Behind him (left and right) stand six grinning figures, men and women, who listen to him. All seven are grotesque figures with large heads, typical of Woodward's 'Lilliputians' (cf. Museum Satire No. 9635). He says (the words etched above his head across the centre of the design): "Ladies and Gentlemen having compleated the first volume of the Caricature Magazine I am desired in the names of the Proprietors. Publisher Artists &c. as also from myself and large-long [see British Museum Satire No. 10604, &c], and small headed Bretheren to return you our sincere thanks for the kind reception we have experienced, in this the commencement of our exertions, and at the same time to assure you that neither pains nor expence shall be spared to merit your future patronage, you are requested to be as early as possible in giving your orders for the first number of the second volume, for the present Ladies and Gentlemen we most respectfully take our Leave." At the base of the design, flanking a tablet on which the title is etched in small letters are (left) ink-stand, book: 'Sketches from Nature', and a rolled print or drawing. On the right are painting materials: palette, with brushes, and mahl-stick, small bags of (powdered) colour, porte-crayon, and another print or sketch. ..."--British Museum online catalogue
