The Melton in the title of the picture refers to the town of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire which was and still is one of the traditional centers of fox hunting in England. One of the hunting traditions is to have a "Hunt Breakfast" before or just after hunting...thus, the Melton Breakfast. Melton Mowbray is so associated with fox hunting that a thick wool material (usually black) for hunting coats and the coats themselves are called Meltons. There is even a boot polish for hunt boots called Meltonian Cream.
