Abstract:
"A pretty young woman swings high above the heads of the spectators, seated on a rope hung between two tall trees. A similar girl, and a young man who embraces her, pull at a rope which works the swing. An elderly parson of Syntax type (see British Museum Satires no. 11507, &c.), smoking and drinking on a bench, looks up delightedly at the girl's legs. Another, fat and humpbacked, flirts with a fat elderly woman. Three elderly farmers rush from the right to watch the display of legs, one waving a pipe and punch-bowl. A fat woman tugs angrily at the pigtail of one of them, kicking him behind; an elderly virago threatens them with her fist."--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
