Label: THE BREAKFAST PARTY. / BREAKFAST is, or should be, a light meal with the canine as with the / human race: thus the young Highlander, who is here giving each dog / its spoonful in turn, has well chosen the time for disciplining his charges. / It is always amusing to compare the grave bearing of older dogs with / the undignified haste of the young ones. The dog towards which the lad's finger / is directed seems to have been guilty of some indiscretion: either he has tried to take / his turn at the spoon twice, or else he has been passed over for trying to help himself / from the tub. / "The Breakfast Party" was painted in 1831 for the late Lord Dover, and now / belongs to the Right Honourable Viscountess Clifden. It was exhibited as "Too / Hot" at the British Institution in 1831, and engraved under that title by J. Outrim / for the Amulet in 1832. Outrin's engraving is one of the plates in Jesse's / "Anecdotes of Dogs." //
