EDITORS COMMENTS
In this copperplate engraving from 1773, we are transported back in time to witness the lively scene of three old women - Kate, Nan, and Bess - indulging in gin punch and flip at a bustling tavern. The satirical illustration by Timothy Bobbin (John Collier) captures the essence of their merriment and camaraderie as they enjoy their drinks with gusto.
The detailed depiction of the women's expressions and gestures gives us a glimpse into their world, where social norms are cast aside in favor of revelry and enjoyment. The artist's keen eye for satire is evident in every stroke, highlighting the humorous aspects of human behavior when under the influence of alcohol.
As we gaze upon this historical print, we can't help but be drawn into the spirited atmosphere of the tavern, where laughter and conversation flow freely. It serves as a reminder that regardless of age or societal expectations, there is always room for joy and celebration among friends.
This image from "Human Passions Delineated" is not just a simple portrayal of drinking habits; it is a reflection on human nature itself - our desires, weaknesses, and capacity for connection through shared experiences. It invites us to ponder our own relationships with alcohol and society while marveling at the timeless artistry that brings these characters to life before our eyes.
