Matrimonial Comforts. London: Ackermann, [1799].

A rare and excellently preserved untrimmed suite of satirical etchings. A fine amateur watercolourist and caricaturist, George Moutard moved to London in 1792. From 1794 to 1807 he designed numerous caricatures which were engraved by fellow artists Isaac Cruikshank, Williams and others. Many of his works, such as the present suite, were etched by his close friend and constant drinking companion, Thomas Rowlandson. Known as 'Mustard George', George Moutard Woodward was the originator of such famous satirical creations as 'General Discontent'; and is often credited with the invention of the modern form of comic strip. Bobins IV, 1356; British Museum Satires 9622-27 (6 plates only).



Small quarto (276 x 213mm). 8 etchings coloured by a contemporary hand, untrimmed (very light spotting). Stitched in original buff wrappers with printed yellow label on upper cover (faint spotting concentrated on back cover); housed in new dark brown cloth pamphlet case with paper label.
