1869 Drunk Sleeping Snow Winter Police Officer
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage cartoon print from 1869 captures a humorous scene of drunkenness in the winter streets. The image showcases a police officer, wearing a traditional hat and uniform, approaching a man lying on the ground in the snow. Concerned for his well-being, the policeman asks if he is hurt. In response, the intoxicated man weakly replies that he is not injured but simply waiting for a friend. The artist's skillful engraving technique brings out intricate details in this comical illustration. The snowy setting adds to the whimsy of the scene as it contrasts with the man's slumbering state. This timeless piece reflects societal attitudes towards alcohol consumption during that era. Printed by Granger Art on Demand, this artwork offers us an intriguing glimpse into history while also providing entertainment through its clever portrayal of drunkenness. It serves as a reminder of how humor can be found even in unexpected situations.
