A rare, large caricature. The interior of a large club dining room, with a number of middle aged country squires standing about chatting while waiting for dinner to be served. Hats and canes hang on the walls with a copy of the Club Laws and a skewed print of a huntsman. In the background servants bear in huge platters of food and on the right a fat, grinning clergyman prays over a large punchbowl, a long nosed man sniffs a decanter of Brandy appreciatively while clutching a decanter of Rum in one hand and a fat, bandy legged dog squats under the table.
