The Half Hour Before Dinner
Humorous scene showing a family and guests, dressed in evening attire, waiting for Christmas dinner to be served. An old man dozes in an armchair, a man looks at his pocket watch as he leans by the fireplace and some fractious children start to fight. The cook stands out in the hallway looking worried. Dinner time was an elaborate family affair during the Victorian era, with an army of servants used to cook and serve food in upper class homes
