The Night Mare, pub. 1790 (hand coloured engraving): This evocative hand-colored engraving captures the torment experienced during sleepless nights plagued by nightmares, symbolizing how abusive experiences haunt victims long after they occur. Plate VI: Fearful quarrels and brutal violence are natural consequences of frequent use of the bottle; Plate IV of The Drunkards Children, pub. 1848 (b/w engraving): Highlighting one consequence of alcohol abuse through engravings from history's pages, we witness how excessive drinking can lead to destructive conflicts and violent outbursts within families.
