Three men sit by a supper-table, a grandfather-clock behind them points to XI. The man on the left is having his jack-boots pulled off by a small boy; the boy stands astride his right leg pulling hard, his back to the man, who is scowling and pushes his other booted foot against the boy's back; on the floor are a pair of spurs, a pair of slippers, and a boot-jack. A man (right) wearing a night-cap, but otherwise completely dressed and wearing spurred boots, leans one elbow on the table, his face contorted as if in pain, he holds his hand to his thigh. On the table beside him is a small packet inscribed "Diaculum". In the centre, and on the farther side of the table, the third man leans both elbows on the table, his hair is tousled and his eyes are shut. A servant behind, yawning, is carrying off a square box, probably a wig-box, while a maidservant stands on the right, a candle in one hand, a warming-pan in the other, watching with amusement the efforts of the boy to pull off the boot. Three hats hang on the wall; a bottle, a plate, three wine-glasses, and a guttering candle, burnt down to the socket, stand on the table. See related image in the British Museum catalogue

"A companion plate to No. 12826. Byron is the centre of a promenade scene resembling No. 12840; he walks (left to right) with a lady on each arm; they have some resemblance to two of the women in No. 12826, and one may be Mrs. Mardyn. Both frown angrily; one holds a huge muff. Byron wears a bell-shaped top-hat on projecting curls, with a high collar and stock, and a coat buttoned to the waist, and sweeping the ground, with baggy trousers gathered at the ankle. They meet a third lady, apparently pregnant, both arms in a muff, who stares angrily at Byron. All wear flaunting hats or bonnets with high cylindrical crowns, short full skirts. Behind them walks a stout ugly woman who passes a letter to a man behind her, grinning slyly, while he leers grotesquely and thrusts papers into a reticule hanging from her wrist. He is an absurd dandy with very wide trousers, shock of hair, small hat, and high neck-cloth. In the background is a high phaeton driven by a man of fashion. In the foreground (left) is an amateur coachman in back view, holding a coach-whip, and wearing a voluminous multi-caped coat resting on the ground (cf. No. 12375)."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A fierce monster in quasi-oriental dress, with webbed wings, hoofs, and tail, strides, across clouds, from a dome among minarets, inscribed 'Turkey', to the dome of St. Paul's in 'London'. He holds up in his left hand a fool's bauble, in the right a paper: 'Plan for turning St Pauls to a Bazaar'. Clouds of smoke inscribed 'Bazaar' issue from his mouth and spread all round him, from which rays descend on London inscribed 'Bazaar' in large letters. His turban is inscribed 'Bazaar'. In his sash are two papers: 'Destruction to Poor Shopkeep . . .' and 'List of Places Intended for Bazaar House of Lords, House of Commons, Carlton House, St Jame's, the Monument, British Meseum [sic], Bullocks Meseum [see British Museum Satires No. 12702], Drury Lane & Covent Garden Theatres &c &c &c.' At the base of the Monument, which he bestrides, is a building inscribed 'Excambrean Baza . .' Below the design: 'This Monster who is a Native of Turkey has lately made his appearance in London & such is his power that by first appearing in Soho he got Acquainted with Mr Tr-t-r sinse which he has Spread Destruction through all the best houses in Town to the Great anoyance of all poor Shop-keepers'."--British Museum online catalogue
