1780 Bobbin Drunk Drunkards Drunks Elderly Features Gnarled Grotesque Heavy Hygiene Intemperance Pair Personal Poor Toll
EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the stark reality of heavy drinking on two elderly drunkards from the 18th century. The gnarled features and poor personal hygiene of these individuals serve as a visual testament to the destructive power of alcohol abuse. Their faces tell a story of intemperance, with deep lines etched into their skin and eyes that betray years of indulgence.
The image is a reminder of the toll that excessive drinking can take on both mind and body, showing how it can age a person beyond their years. These old drunks appear grotesque in their appearance, yet there is also a sense of sadness in their eyes - perhaps reflecting regret for lives wasted in pursuit of drink.
As we look at this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time when alcoholism was rampant and its consequences were often ignored or dismissed. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of overindulgence and reminds us to treat our bodies with care and respect.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just an image, but a piece of history that speaks volumes about the impact of heavy drinking on individuals and society as a whole.
