Toasting muffins, vide royal breakfast
Gillray, James, 1756-1815 · November 28, 1797
The King, much caricatured, in dressing-gown and nightcap, sits over a fire in profile to the left, toasting muffins, the muffin-dish on a tripod beside him. His stockings are ungartered, the 'Honi soit' ribbon hangs loose. On the fire is a large kettle. Beneath the title is etched, "So justly formed to meet by nature!" (BM).
