1891 Coming Dear Drunken Ejected Friend Intemperance Pious
Ejected From Pub, 1891
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and humorous photograph that captures a moment of embarrassment and perhaps even regret. The image features a man identified as Mr. Brown, looking rather disheveled and disgruntled as he steps out of a traditional-looking public house. His pious friend, who stands nearby on the sidewalk, expresses his concern and sympathy with the words, "Dear me, I'm sorry to see you coming out of a public house, Mr. Brown. Couldn't help it, old fellow, I was chucked out!" The scene takes place in the late 19th century, as evidenced by the period clothing and the setting of the pub. The image serves as a reminder of a time when intemperance, or excessive drinking, was a common problem in many communities. The photograph also highlights the social stigma attached to public drunkenness and the disapproval of those who chose to indulge in such behavior. Despite the serious underlying message, the photograph also conveys a sense of humor and camaraderie between the two men. Mr. Brown's friend offers a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to lean on, suggesting that even in moments of shame, there is still support and understanding to be found. The image also invites us to reflect on the complex relationship between food, drink, and socializing. While the pub was a popular gathering place for friends and neighbors, it could also be a source of trouble and hardship for those who overindulged. The photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of moderation and the potential consequences of excessive drinking." Overall, "Ejected From Pub, 1891" is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, offering insights into the social norms and attitudes of the time, as well as the human capacity for humor and compassion.
