EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NYC: EXCISE LAW, 1867. Indignation meeting in a New York bar-room on Sunday" takes us back to the vibrant city of New York in the late 19th century. The engraving beautifully captures an intense moment during an indignation meeting held inside a bustling bar-room on a Sunday. The image showcases a diverse group of men gathered together, their expressions reflecting deep concern and frustration. Dressed in mid-1800s clothing, they passionately discuss the controversial Excise Law that had recently been implemented. This law aimed to regulate liquor sales and consumption within the city. As we delve into this historical scene, our eyes are drawn to various details within the frame. A loyal dog stands faithfully by its owner's side, perhaps symbolizing unity among these disgruntled citizens. The dimly lit interior of the bar adds an air of secrecy and intrigue to this clandestine gathering. This engraving not only provides insight into New York City's nightlife during that era but also serves as a testament to people's determination to voice their opinions even under restrictive circumstances like Sunday excise laws. Granger Art on Demand has once again transported us back in time with this remarkable piece from their collection, allowing us to witness firsthand how ordinary individuals came together in defiance against unjust regulations that affected their daily lives.
