- Abstract
-
"A glutton lies in bed, asleep, assailed by the fish, flesh, and fowl of a City dinner. A huge turtle is on top of him, a lobster pinches his nose, a pheasant swoops to peck an eye. He holds in each hand a bottle labelled 'Wrights Cham[pagne]' [see British Museum Satires No. 15478], squirting the explosive contents at his assailants. A big frog points a spear on which three small frogs are spitted. On his bedside table besides candle, box of 'Dixon's Pills', basin, &c, is a bill of fare: 'Turtle & fresh Cod'; 'Roast beef & à la mode'; 'Veal and Mutton'; 'Pork and Venison'; 'Pheasants & Pigeons'; 'Lobster & Sturgeon'; 'Turkey and Capon'; 'Goose and Salmon'; 'Turbot & Ducks'; 'Shrimps in Pots'; 'Frogs à la Crapodine'; 'Anguille &c à la diabletine' [sic]. All these, shrimps excepted, are depicted; there is also a hare."--British Museum online catalogue
