Like Father Like Son - A Glimpse into Late 19th Century Saloon Culture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "DRINKING, 1874" offers a fascinating snapshot of American saloon life in the late 1800s. The image depicts men engaging in two popular vices of the era: drinking and gambling. As we peer into this bustling saloon interior, we witness a scene that reflects both camaraderie and indulgence. The wood engraving, skillfully crafted by Sol Eytinge in 1874, captures the essence of this moment with remarkable detail. Men huddle around tables engrossed in intense card games while others raise their glasses for a toast – an ode to conviviality amidst their shared vice. What strikes us most is the phrase "Like Father Like Son". It hints at an intergenerational tradition where sons follow in their fathers' footsteps, adopting not only their habits but also their passions. This observation sheds light on societal norms and expectations prevalent during that time. Furthermore, this artwork serves as a window into America's evolving relationship with alcohol during the late 19th century. The presence of a bartender suggests that these establishments were not merely dens of debauchery but also social hubs where people gathered to unwind and connect. Granger Art on Demand presents us with yet another gem from history through this evocative photo print. It invites contemplation about our ancestors' pastimes and how they shaped society at large
