[Horse Accomplishments. London: R. Ackermann, 1799.]

Scarce suite of Woodward and Rowlandson’s caricatures of horses and their riders. Each plate satirizes a different profession: the 'devout' horse on its knees 'constantly worshipping something or Other!' and the 'political horse' poking its nose into other peoples’ business. Abbey Life 397; Bobins III, 1203; Grolier Club Catalogue no.54; Prideaux, p.350.



Oblong quarto (283 x 343mm). 12 aquatint plates, coloured by a contemporary hand, after Woodward, engraved by Rowlandson with Ackermann imprint, mounted onto thick paper stock (repaired chip to corner of plates 2 and 4, plate 9 also with restored marginal tear, repaired chip to plate 11 affecting the Rowlandson signature and repaired tear to plate 12 affecting the caption). Modern dust red crushed morocco, dark green morocco title label.
