Gin Lane. This print was published as a pair with Beer Street

This print was published as a pair with Beer Street and contrasted the health and productivity benefits of drinking beer with the vice of gin drinking. At the time the prints were made gin was drunk in great quantities in England, and was extremely cheap. Hogarths nightmarish scene is set in the slum known as the Ruins of St Giles and includes a drunken mother dropping her baby to take a pinch of snuff, the burial of a naked woman, mass brawling, and a man and dog fighting over a bone. Soon after the appearance of Hogarths prints the Gin Act of 1751 reduced the number of gin shops and greatly increased the tax on importing gin amongst other measures to curtail consumption.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This powerful print captures the haunting scene of "Gin Lane" by William Hogarth. Published alongside its counterpart, "Beer Street" this artwork starkly contrasts the consequences of drinking gin with the benefits of beer consumption. During that time in England, gin was widely consumed due to its affordability, leading to a multitude of social issues. Set in the impoverished slum known as the Ruins of St Giles, Hogarth's depiction is nothing short of a nightmarish vision. The image portrays a mother so intoxicated that she drops her baby while reaching for snuff, symbolizing the neglect caused by excessive gin drinking. In addition, we witness a burial taking place amidst chaos and mass brawling on the streets. A man and dog even fight over a bone in an unsettling display. The release of Hogarth's prints had significant societal impact. Shortly after their publication, the Gin Act of 1751 was implemented to reduce access to gin shops and increase taxes on imported gin as measures to combat rampant consumption. This photograph faithfully captures every detail engraved by Adland after Hogarth's original artwork. It serves as a reminder not only of historical excesses but also highlights how art can influence change within society. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Storehouse, we are transported back to 18th-century London where disorder and vice prevailed on Gin Lane.
