Woodward's "grotesque" or caricature borders consist of three panels, the bottom one (reproduced below) showing cricket. These early fore-runners of the comic strip were often used as intended, as borders for friezes or screens, and comparatively few have survived. This example is laid down and with slight crease mark. Benezit (vol. VIII, p. 792) says of Woodward, who was born in Derbyshire in 1760 and died in London in November, 1809, "Il semble avoir été gai compagnon, aimant fort à boire; il mourut dans un cabaret de Bow Street."
