Abstract:

"Tail piece to volume 3 of Tegg's Caricature Magazine, the title 'Tail Piece to Volume Three' inscribed on a theatrical drop curtain, pinioned at centre by a wig, above the scene. Street scene showing Tegg's printshop, the 'Apollo Library' at 111 Cheapside, at left, signs above its windows reading 'Libraries purchased or exchanged.', 'The largest assortment of caricatures in the world.'; a crowd looking at the printshop windows, which show various prints and advertisements: 'Spirit of fresh wit / Spirit of English wit / Marmion travestee / The whale / An auction at eight precisely / Caricature Magazine Vol 4'. In the doorway, Tegg is just visible firing a large gun to right, bringing a winged man with a fool's cap tumbling out of the sky; below four demons, the 'genii of caricature', hold out a long net filled with papers, one saying, 'Thats right Master Tegg - fire away - you will always find plenty of game - we have got a precious hawl here for the supply of the shop'; the papers are inscribed with the subjects of satirical prints: 'Portraits / Bon mots / G[...] / The day / Mrs clarke / Oddities / The times / Mirth and jollity / Whim / Manners / Investigation / Jokes / Fashion / Crim con'. Many figures strolling on the other side of the street at right, Bow Church at the corner opposite."--British Museum online catalogue.
