"Coffee-House Characters, or Hints to the Readers of Newspapers Exemplified in Eight Characteristic Designs with Letter Press Elucidations to Each Plate" is a satirical work by the English caricaturist George Murgatroyd Woodward, published in the early 19th century. Woodward, known for his humorous and often exaggerated depictions of social life, created this series to comment on the diverse personalities and behaviors observed in coffee houses of the time.

Coffee houses in the 18th and 19th centuries were popular social hubs where people gathered to discuss news, politics, and various topics. Woodward's work captures the essence of these vibrant settings through a series of eight illustrations, each accompanied by descriptive text. These illustrations serve as a humorous critique of the individuals who frequented these establishments, highlighting their quirks and idiosyncrasies.

Each character in the series is depicted with exaggerated features and expressions, a hallmark of Woodward's style. The accompanying text provides further insight into the character's role and behavior within the coffee house environment. Through these depictions, Woodward offers a satirical lens on the social dynamics and cultural norms of his time.

Woodward's work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its social commentary. It reflects the growing importance of coffee houses as centers of communication and the diverse array of people they attracted. The series is an example of how art and satire were used to engage with and critique contemporary society.

While not as widely known today, Woodward's "Coffee-House Characters" remains a valuable piece for understanding the social history and cultural landscape of early 19th-century England. His ability to capture the essence of everyday life with humor and insight continues to be appreciated by historians and art enthusiasts alike.
