A Sunday ordinary at Highgate [graphic].

"Men and women seated on benches on each side of a dinner-table. A waiter hands a foaming tankard of beer to a woman with a child on her lap, who looks at the child so that the beer is about to fall. The waiter, looking at the woman, lets the gravy from a dish which he holds in his left hand pour over another diner, 'the greatest beau in the company'. A man (right) turns round to look at the disaster; a large greyhound puts his head on the table and, the text explains, devours the contents of his plate. The others, though amused, do not cease eating; one man gnaws a bone held in both hands. In the foreground a dog and cat quarrel over a bone. The room is neatly furnished: three framed pictures hang on the wall, and ornaments are ranged on the chimney-piece. The price of the ordinary was '1s. 6d'."--British Museum online catalogue
