The Caricature Magazine or Hudibrastic Mirror was a London fortnightly periodical of hand-coloured etched caricature prints, published by Thomas Tegg from 1807, running five volumes across roughly fourteen years.[1]
History
The magazine was founded and edited by caricaturist George Moutard Woodward, publishing two prints per issue covering social and political satire, including Napoleon, fashion and "Dandyism," and the serial "The Adventures of Johnny Newcome."[1] After Woodward's death around 1809, Thomas Rowlandson took over direction, and the title's later volumes were rebranded "Rowlandson's Caricature Magazine."[1] Surviving prints from the series are now held in museum collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[2]
