Some Delay at the Post!
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Humorous Encounter with Inebriation in 1904 (Racing Illustrated) In this photograph from the annals of history, published in the Racing Illustrated in 1904, we witness a gentleman's humorous struggle to make his way home after an extensive drinking session at the Old Blue Bell. The man, who has shed both his shoes and appears to be on the brink of a close encounter with a lamppost, holds out what seems to be a house key or door key, as if expecting the lamp to open the door to his residence. His top hat lies abandoned on the pavement beside him, a testament to his advanced state of inebriation. Two young street urchins, who have been hiding in the shadows, cannot contain their amusement at the sight. Their smirks and mischievous grins add to the overall sense of fun and lightheartedness in the scene. The man's drunken stumble, his belief that the lamppost is his front door, and the urchins' hidden amusement all combine to create a hilarious and humorous moment frozen in time. This photograph, with its charming depiction of the human condition and the passage of time, offers a glimpse into the past and the simple joys of life that transcend generations. The image, which can be found in the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a reminder of the often-amusing consequences of overindulgence and the delightful absurdity of everyday life in the early 20th century.
