Punch-bowl, wine-bottle, glasses, pipes, a tumbler are on the table which is covered by a heavy cloth. Their expressions are more serious than those of the catch-singers. Two men in the background are smoking, one of whom is lighting his pipe. A dog sits in the foreground looking up at the singers. The words of the glee are engraved beneath the print, beginning: 'Which is the properest Day to drink, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,'; republished state."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title from item.</dc:description><dc:description>Artist from description in Sotheby's catalog.</dc:description><dc:description>Publication date assigned by the repository based on the series number.</dc:description><dc:description>Twelve lines of verse below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Numbered '567' in series.</dc:description><dc:description>Temporary local subject terms: Glee Club -- Punch bowls -- Wine bottles -- Glass: wine glasses -- Tablecloths -- Interiors: Robert Smith's house in St. Paul's Church Yard -- Carpets.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
