A Disciple of the liquid religion practiced by the Saxon
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous and comic engraving that captures the amusing side of history. This 19th-century artwork, part of Bill Nye's History of England, depicts an Englishman fully immersed in his devotion to alcohol. The illustration, created by W M Goodes and A M Richards, showcases the comical nature of drinking culture in England. With its witty portrayal, this print invites us to reflect on the historical significance of alcohol consumption in English society. It playfully suggests that for some Saxons, their dedication to "liquid religion" surpassed all other pursuits. The image offers a lighthearted commentary on how drinking was ingrained within English traditions. The artist's attention to detail and digital cleaning bring out the humor even more vividly. The exaggerated facial expressions and body language add an extra layer of amusement to this scene from history. Through this satirical lens, we are reminded that humor has always been a powerful tool for understanding cultural practices. This engraving not only entertains but also sheds light on aspects of English history and Germanic influences on drinking habits. It serves as a reminder that cultural practices can be both fascinating and hilarious when viewed through a comedic lens.
