EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1658 showcases a scene filled with the indulgences of the time - Wine, Beer, Ale, and Tobacco. The detailed illustration gives us a glimpse into the social customs and habits of 17th-century England.
The image is not just a depiction of these popular vices but also serves as an illustration for A Bibliography of the English Printed Drama to the Restoration by W.W. Greg. It was printed for the Bibliographical Society at the University Press in Oxford, adding an academic touch to this otherwise hedonistic composition.
In this bustling inn setting, we see patrons enjoying their drinks - beer being poured from barrels and wine flowing freely. Tobacco products are also prominently featured, reflecting the widespread smoking culture of that era.
The artwork transports us back in time to an age when such pleasures were not only common but celebrated. It captures a moment in history when people gathered in taverns to socialize, gamble, and partake in these intoxicating substances.
Overall, this lithograph is not just a visual delight but also a historical document that sheds light on societal norms and behaviors from centuries past. It's a reminder that our modern-day indulgences have deep roots in history and tradition.
