EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a scene from a pub in 1874, depicting the consequences of intemperance. A group of men appear to be drunk and disorderly, with one man being thrown out by the bartender. The caption "Throw this lot out" suggests that their behavior has become unacceptable even in a setting known for its convivial atmosphere.
The interaction between the bartender and another gentleman highlights the social norms of the time - despite having only four pence, it seems that this man is still welcome to stay and enjoy a drink. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder of how attitudes towards alcohol consumption have evolved over time.
The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when pubs were central hubs for socializing, but also serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of excessive drinking. It prompts viewers to reflect on how societal attitudes towards alcohol have shifted since then, while also acknowledging that issues surrounding intoxication and responsible drinking are not new phenomena.
Overall, this print offers a glimpse into history through the lens of an everyday scene at a pub, capturing both the camaraderie and chaos that often accompanied nights out on the town.
