This satirical hand-colored etching by George Moutard Woodward, known as the *Title Page*, was created in 1807 as a title page for his *Caricature Magazine or Hudibrastic Mirror*, published in London. Woodward's humorous work satirizes the societal norms and contemporary figures of his time through caricatured figures and exaggerated features. This work is a fine example of the early 19th century satirical printmaking style. *Title Page* and *Caricature Magazine or Hudibrastic Mirror* are important for their contributions to the history of satirical printmaking in the UK.
