The scenes were intended to point out the foibles of humanity and would have been humorous to an 18th century audience, who would have recognised the references to popular fables. The activities of the animals depicted are quite curious and specific and likely relate to a particular fable source. Anthropomorphic services created at Meissen are rare and few are in existence.
