EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Cruikshank's Banquet: June - The Unlicensed Victuallers Dinner," is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing a lively and extravagant feast enjoyed by a group of gentlemen in Britain during the early 19th century, as depicted by renowned English satirical artist, George Cruikshank. The month of June is represented in this scene, with an abundant spread of sumptuous dishes laid out before the revelers. The table groans under the weight of an impressive array of dishes, including a majestic peacock, a magpie, a swan, a dolphin, a salmon, a boar, a goose, and a bull. The gentlemen, dressed in their finest attire, tuck in heartily, their expressions reflecting a mix of enjoyment and merriment. In the background, a cask of ale adds to the convivial atmosphere, while a waiter pours drinks for the guests. This banquet, however, was not an ordinary affair. The "unlicensed victuallers" were publicans and innkeepers who sold alcohol without the required license from the local authorities. Such gatherings were often seen as lawless and rowdy, and this image captures the spirit of defiance and camaraderie that came with them. The intricate details of the illustration transport us back in time, offering a unique perspective on the food, drink, and social customs of the past. The wide variety of dishes, from the exotic peacock and magpie to the more commonplace salmon and goose, showcase the diversity of the British palate during this era. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of food, drink, and social customs in Britain.
