"Another version of British Museum Satires No. 10848, with the same quotation below the design. A dinner-table scene. Five people are crowded at a small table; all register disgust as a footman bears in a life-like hare on a dish, at which a dog looks greedily. The cook stands in the doorway (left), much amused."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
