A humorous set of plates depicting exaggerated horses and their riders satirising a profession or social character, each plate with a title and caption clarifying the each pun in question. Without title as issued (Abbey).
George Moutard Woodward (1765–1809) was a noted English caricaturist who often collaborated with his friend Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827), an even more prolific caricature artist and engraver who also privately produced highly explicit erotica to make ends meet.
First edition; landscape 4to (28 x 36.5 cm); 12 hand-coloured aquatint plates by Rowlandson after Woodward, a touch of unobtrusive spotting and soiling; 19th-century full chestnut morocco by Sangorski and Sutcliffe for E. P. Dutton preserved in a later protective case, boards elaborately bordered in blind and gilt, spine lettered in gilt in six compartments, boards edges gilt ruled, gilt inner dentelles, upper board detached, otherwise a very good copy.
Abbey (Life), 397; Bobins III, 1203, Prideaux p350.
