Le Dejeuner. Gentlemen in coat tails and breeches and ladies in veils and dresses share a breakfast of coffee and bread. "Great familiarity reigns in the morning, one has no time to become ceremonial, breakfast is the honest meal." Handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817.
