| Title | The Conclusion of the First Caricature Magazine |
| Date | 1 Sep 1807 |
| Description | The final page of Tegg's Caricature Magazine. At the centre is a very caricatured Lilliputian character, standing arms outstretched, who declares:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, having completed the first volume of the Caricature Magazine I am desired in the names of the Proprierters, Publisher, Artists &c as also from myself and large, long and small headed Brethren to return you our sincere thanks for the kind reception we have experienced, in this the commencement of our exertions, and at the same time to assure you that neither pains nor expence shall be spared to merit your future patronage, you are requested to be as early as possible in giving your order for the first number of the second volume. For the present Ladies and Gentlemen we most respectfully take our leave."
Slightly behind the man stand various caricatured Lilliputian characters. Around the edge is a red curtain, and there are several figures looking out from behind it. Down both sides are miniature reproductions of prints contained in the magazine, some of which are in this collection. On the floor at the front is a palette, an ink pot and a copy of 'Sketches from Nature'.
