EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical print by John Leech titled "Probable Effect of Mr. Somess Sunday Closing Bill, 1863" the artist portrays the potential consequences of a proposed bill that aimed to close all public houses on Sundays. The image depicts a workman and his female companion, Betsy, discussing their predicament caused by the proposed legislation. The workman laments the fact that they will no longer be able to enjoy refreshments outside on Sundays due to the closure of public houses. In response, he suggests laying in a stock of drinks at home and drinking like "the pious Scotch". This humorous remark highlights the absurdity of attempting to regulate people's behavior when it comes to enjoying alcoholic beverages. Mr. Punch, a popular character from Punch magazine known for his wit and satire, points out the futility of such restrictions in finding alternative ways to indulge in their desired activities. The cartoon implies that those who wish to have a drink on Sundays will always find a way despite any legislative efforts. Ultimately, this print serves as commentary on both social attitudes towards alcohol consumption and political resistance against restrictive laws. It also showcases John Leech's talent for using humor and caricature to convey deeper messages about society during 19th-century Britain.
