Notes:

Shows a man returning to his quaint home and family convened around the dining table after a day of work. He enters the door with a lunch pail in his hand and greets his son who runs to him. In front of the table, laid out with a pot of tea, an older daughter uses a plate of water to bathe her younger sister who has been stripped to her waist. At the end of the table, the mother holds a baby at her bosom. Nearby, the family cat sits in front of the stove slightly visible in the right of the image.

Notes:

The industrious man [graphic] : It is Saturday night. The industrious man returns home from his labour in peace-He is welcome to an humble home-Pleasant smiles and happy voices greet him. Let him fear and serve God will bless him and his household for ever / M.H.T.
