Cartoon from "Judy" magazine, depicting a scene at the Bishop's Breakfast Table

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This is a cartoon published in the satirical magazine "Judy: The London Serio-Comic Journal". It shows a scene set at the breakfast table of a stern-looking bishop. The text to the cartoon reads:

SCENE—BISHOP’S BREAKFAST TABLE. Bishop (to timid Curate on a visit). DEAR ME, I’M AFRAID YOUR EGG’S NOT GOOD! Timid Curate. OH, YES, MY LORD, REALLY-ER-SOME PARTS OF IT ARE VERY GOOD.

This is probably the origin of the phrase "curate's egg", and predates the better-known cartoon in Punch by several months.
