The Aristocratic Kitchen
In this German book on cookery, pastry making, and brewing, the engraved
illustration shows a busy kitchen, fully staffed by cooks and servants
engaged in roasting, plucking fowl, and baking. The finely dressed overseer
of the kitchen–presumably the head housekeeper–stands in the background,
keeping an eye on the day's work.
