\n111. Grandmother’s Snuff-box. Le Blond, No. 100.<\/p>\n

On the left, seated in the ancestral arm-chair and wearing her grandparent’s cap and spectacles, is grandma junior. The snuff-box is being passed round; the last child to receive it is generously giving his share to the cat, who, willingly and somewhat ungraciously, declines it. The real granny surveys the scene with regretful eyes from the half-open door on the right. The parrot, in his cage on the left, is a fine piece of colour work. This makes a nice companion to No. 110.<\/p>\n
