Nicknamed 'Mustard George', Woodward had a somewhat crude but energetic style. Widely published in the ''Caricature'' magazine and elsewhere, his drawings were nearly all etched by others, primarily Thomas Rowlandson, but also Charles Williams and Isaac Cruikshank.

and varied."〔(''Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum: Division I. Political and personal satires'' (1870): "Introduction" )〕
