A footman (right) is about to place on the table a dish containing an alligator. The head of a strange horned beast is the chief dish on the table; there is also a frog on a plate. Banks (left) gnaws a serpent which he holds in both hands. The two walls of the room are closely covered with stuffed specimens and butterflies, insects, &c, in cases. The former include a sow, a goose, three owls, a deformed human skeleton. Two dogs gnaw bones."--British Museum online catalogueTitle from British Museum catalogue.Attributed to Rowlandson by Grego.Date of publication based on that of the volume in which the print appears.Frontispiece to: Pindar, P.
