Subject

Satires - Etchings

Description

This satirical print by George Moutard Woodward was first published in 1811 in Thomas Rowlandsons popular Caricature Magazine, or Hudabristic Mirror. A keen observer of the foibles of society in Georgian England, Woodward poked fun at two stereotypical preachers: a slender Methodist whose popularity in the pulpit causes the listeners at his chapel to neglect their daily obligations, and a rotund Anglican parish priest whose sermons attract no following at all.
