EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate print by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "The skeleton of Death takes away the drunken Sot in a wheelbarrow, while other drunks make merry in front of The Goat pub" captures a macabre scene from 19th century England. In this allegorical depiction, Rowlandson uses dark humor to comment on the destructive nature of alcoholism and its impact on society. The central focus of the image is Death personified as a skeleton, pushing a wheelbarrow containing an intoxicated man. This symbolizes how excessive drinking can lead to one's demise. Meanwhile, other revelers continue their merriment outside The Goat pub, oblivious to the consequences that await them. Rowlandson's caricature style adds an element of satire to the scene. The exaggerated expressions and gestures highlight the absurdity of their behavior and serve as a cautionary tale against indulgence. Beyond its entertainment value, this engraving serves as social commentary on issues such as addiction and public health during that time period. It reflects concerns about alcohol consumption and its negative effects on individuals and society at large. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into English culture in the early 19th century while reminding us of timeless themes surrounding vice and mortality.
