Dissapointed epicures

Item Information

Title:
Dissapointed epicures
Description:
Another version of A Mad Dog in a Dining room. In this case the dog has run between the legs of a man bringing in a dish of cutlets, which bestrew the carpet ; his downfall has in turn overset another retainer, whose soup tureen has come to grief; the butler, more engaged in watching the calamities of his fellows, has allowed the 'spruce beer' to escape in a shower of froth all over the place. The scene is well worked out ; over the door of the dining-room is a picture representing a party of corpulent friars seated round a refectory board. The faces of the party it is a bachelor-dinner in this instance express more annoyance than alarm ; they are dejected at the prospect of a curtailed repast.
