A barmaid in a tavern calls time on two sleeping drunks. The men are in a drunken stupor at a table with tankard, gin glass, candle and hat. Empty wine bottles lie on the floor. Operatives. Handcoloured wood engraving after an illustration by Thomas Rowlandson from W. H. Harrison’s The Humourist, a Companion for the Christmas Fireside, Rudolph Ackermann, 19 Strand, London, 1831.
