Picture No 10731737
Date 1868
Description Cruikshank, The Gin Shop, plate 7
Details

This is the woman, with wobegone face, The wife of the drunkard, in rags and disgrace, Who is served by the lady, all jewels and lace, The wife of the landlord who coins his bright gold, Out of the ruin of youthful and old, Who drink the strong liquors he sells night and day, At the bar of the Gin-shop, so glittering and gay. Illustration no. 7 of 12 by George Cruikshank to The Gin-Shop, a moralistic rhyme warning of the ruin gin can cause.
