Title
Fatal effects of gluttony A Lord Mayor's day night mare.
Description
English: Below the title: 'Dedicated to all the City Gourmands.—to be had at all the Taverns in the United Kingdom'. 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 BM 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. 4 November 1830

Licensing[edit]

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
