EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing historical image, titled "Throwing up (Bobbin)" from Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a scene of intemperance and camaraderie from the 18th century. In the photograph, one fellow is shown in a state of inebriation, bending over and vomiting into a bucket, his face contorted in discomfort. His companion, with a thoughtful expression, reaches out to lift the man's wig off his head, presumably to keep it from getting wet or soiled. The image is part of the "drunk, drinking, throwing, series," which offers a glimpse into the social norms and excesses of the past. The use of the term "bobbin" in the title is likely a reference to the bobbin used in textile production, which was also a colloquial term for a drunken person who was "bobbing" or stumbling around. The photograph is both grotesque and fascinating, offering a raw and unfiltered look into the realities of excessive drinking during this time period. The image also highlights the role of companionship and support in helping someone through a difficult moment, even if that moment involves vomiting in public. The historical context of this image is important to consider, as it reflects the prevalence of alcohol consumption and the societal acceptance of drunkenness during the 1700s. While the image may be uncomfortable to some modern viewers, it serves as an important reminder of the complexities and contradictions of history, and the ways in which our past continues to shape our present.
