His early works often dealt with military scenes, including colour plates for The Martial Achievements, The Wars of Wellington, etc.{{sfn|Bryant&Henneage|page=107}}, but from about 1820 on he focused on satire. Between 1827 and 1829, many of his works were published under the pseudonym "Paul Pry" (the name of an overly inquisitive stage character in a popular 1825 stage comedy by John Poole [4]); also used the pseudonym Argus. He was described by Dr John Brown, biographer of John Leech as "poor Heath, the ex-Captain of Dragoons, facile and profuse, unscrupulous and clever"{{sfn|Bryant&Henneage|page=107}}. Heath helped found an early caricature magazines, The Glasgow Looking Glass (renamed to The Northern Looking Glass after five issues). Heath created a numbered series of political Caricatures between 1830 – 1834 for McLean's Monthly. The British Museum catalogue[5] has over 160 works by Heath. GalleryWorks
