A satire on a recent performance of Timor the Tartar depicts a horde of Tartar horsemen, wearing turbans with aigrettes and holding scimitars, as they attack a classic Apollo figure who looks back with horror as he flees, his broken bow in his left hand and his helmet and quiver at his feet. They are lead in the attack by a lady on horseback and wearing medieval-style costume. Apollo appears to be punched in the head by a man in the background, wearing boxing gloves. On the right Kemble is about to thrust a piece labelled "Cocktail ginger" into the horse's rear as he lifts its tail. In the center foreground a man shoots a blunderbuss, which is supported by a pile of books with titles: American, New Musical Pieces, Shipwreck, etc. From the muzzle issue words and papers: Plan of new tragedy, Poetry for an oratorio, Remarks on light & shade, etc
