The Drinking Customs of Society or Worship of Bacchus

George Cruikshank

Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white illustration depicts a large crowd scene. The scene is crowded with people in old-fashioned clothing. In the background, a cityscape with buildings and a cloudy sky is visible. A large statue of a man with raised arm stands on a barrel. Two gazebo-like structures are in the middle ground. People are drinking and socializing around tables under drapes. Some individuals hold signs, and smoke billows from industrial areas. The artist's signature appears at the bottom.
