Scope and Contents

Ninth print in the Miseries of Human Life series. Four men and two ladies are seated at dinner, a small child on each side of the host (left.) A footman (right) brings in a steaming haunch of venison, followed by a fat maid-servant with a second dush. All the diners register extreme disgust. Below: 'Inviting a friend, (whom you know to be particularly fond of the dish,) to partake in a fine hare, haunch, &c, which you have endeavoured to keep exactly to the critical moment, but which is no sooner brought in, than the whole party, with one nose, order it to be taken out. Description from the Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Vol. VIII.
