EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures the essence of British life in the early nineteenth century with a satirical twist. Titled "Gin Juggarnath, 1835," this image portrays the Worship of the Great Spirit of the age, highlighting gin's apparent grip on society during that time.
In this satire, we see how gin was not just a drink but almost a deity worshipped by many. The term "juggernaut" is fitting as it symbolizes something powerful and unstoppable, much like the influence of gin on British culture at that time.
The artist behind this piece cleverly critiques the excessive consumption of gin and its negative impact on society. It serves as a reminder of the importance of temperance and moderation when it comes to alcohol consumption.
Through this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to an era where gin played a significant role in shaping British life. It offers us a glimpse into history and allows us to reflect on how far we have come since then.
Overall, "Gin Juggarnath, 1835" is not just a simple depiction of daily life but a thought-provoking commentary on an aspect of history that continues to resonate today.
