Genius of Bazaar arrived at London.
[by John Cawse?]
pub 29th 1816 by T. Tegg, 111 Cheapside.
Coloured etching. 345 x 250mm (13½ x 9¾").
A monster with bat's face, wings & tail and hoofs, in quasi-oriental dress, strides from 'Turkey' to London', holding a fool's bauble and a paper: 'Plan for turning St Pauls to a Bazaar'. The 'Bazaar' was established by John Trotter in 1815, to enable the widows and daughters of Army officers to raise money by selling their handywork. Counter-space was rented at 3d. a foot a day, the only recommendation required being 'an irreproachable character'. The Bazaar, the first of its kind, extended from the west side of Soho Square to Oxford Street and proved a source of great wealth to Trotter.

Publish.d Nov.r 30 1799 by SW Fores Piccadilly where f[olios] of Caricatures may be had for the Evening
Hand-coloured etching, 355 x 270mm (14 x 10½"). On 18th century watermarked paper. Stamp of Samuel William Fores 'S.W.F' in brown ink in right corner. . Thread margin on left and trimmed to plate on right.
One phrase within the image, "Constitutions Ready for all Occasions", is in the typically neat hand of F. Sansom( fl. c.1797-1810); the remainder of the lettering is less carefully etched. Bonaparte (1769-1821) sits enthroned among clouds, brooding, his face in both hands. His right leg rests on a skull, his left trampling papers titled ‘Hymn Marselos’ and 'Council of Cinq Cents.’ Beneath the skull lie more papers: ‘Liste of the Judges’, ‘Myself in Egypt an Oratorio’, ‘Ca ira ira’. He wears uniform and a plumed cocked hat, framed by a radiant triangle of daggers inscribed ‘Seyes’, ‘Buonaparte’, ‘Ducos’; within it appears Abbaye. Behind him stand two attendant demons: Sieyès (1748-1836), wearing a bonnet-rouge, and Ducos (1747-1816), both emerging from clouds in long gowns, looking anxiously at their master; a label reads ‘Constitutions Ready for all Occasions’. In the air, four small, tailed demons with the heads of English Jacobins swarm around; Sheridan (1751-1816) spits fire at Bonaparte, while Fox (1749-1806) is at the right, the remaining figures likely M. A. Taylor (1757-1834) and Stanhope (1753-1816) .Along the lower edge appear rough Frenchmen cheering their new ruler, waving bonnets-rouges or daggers. One shouts "Down with the Councils up wth the Committees", another "Vive La Babouf Ca ira".
