Abstract: Men in various stages of drunkenness sit at a dinner table while others are passed out on the floor. One man in topboots dances on the table as he waves his hat and a bottle. Several of the men of the party are passed out in their chairs or have fallen on the floor. An obese parson leans against the wall as he vomits. Several of them are wearing hunting hats; on the wall are antlers and a hunting-piece
