Booze Drank Drunk Floor Last Morning Nostalgia Nostalgic Punch

EDITORS COMMENTS
Last at Table! (engraving) captures a lively scene from the 18th century, depicted by an English School artist in the 19th century. This intriguing print, part of a private collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture surrounding alcohol consumption. The image portrays a group of gentlemen indulging in their morning punch at an early hour. The atmosphere is filled with merriment as they enjoy their drinks while one unfortunate soul finds himself under the table, clearly having imbibed more than his fair share. A pipe-smoking gentleman wearing a wig looks on with amusement as he takes in the spectacle. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News in December 1883. It beautifully captures both nostalgia and historic charm, transporting viewers back to a time when drinking habits were quite different from today. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element within this composition tells its own story. From the ornate floor patterns to the intricately designed tableware, each aspect adds depth and richness to this image. Last at Table! serves as a reminder of how art can provide us with glimpses into our pasts – moments frozen in time that allow us to reflect on societal customs and traditions that have evolved over centuries.
