The image is an illustration titled "The Gin Shop." It depicts a grim interior scene representative of an old gin shop, with the date of November 15th, 1829 below the title, indicating the illustration was published then. The central theme of the drawing is a critical commentary on the social issue of gin consumption and its detrimental effects on society during that period.
In the scene, several characters are shown in distressing and dilapidated conditions within the shop. A large barrel labeled "OLD TOM" occupies a prominent position in the illustration. A skeletal figure, possibly representing Death, stands to the left, while another skeletal figure serves gin to a customer at the counter.
The shop interior is adorned with various signs and posters, one of them advertising "OLD TOM" gin. The figures within the shop appear disheveled and desperate, some lying on the floor.
A quote below the illustration reinforces the message:
"- 'Now oh dear, how shocking, the thought is
They makes the gin from aquafortis.'
They do so on purpose; folks lives it's shorten
And tickets it up at twopence a quarter.”
The overall tone of the image is dark and satirical, highlighting the negative impact of gin shops in early 19th century society.

The image depicts an illustration of "The Gin Shop," a scene framed by an ornately carved border featuring a certain gothic quality with skulls. Inside the frame, there's a bustling gin shop with various characters engaged in drinking and conversation. On the left, there is a skeletal figure — possibly representing death or poverty — holding a glass labeled "GIN." In the center, a rather disheveled figure with a child is procuring gin from a barrel labeled "Old Tom." Towards the right, a well-dressed man is serving gin to a customer across a bar, under which a small child is depicted playing with a dog. Above the bar, there are shelves with bottles and containers, as well as a clock on the wall.
Numerous texts and signs are spread across the image, emphasizing the focus on gin and the apparent social commentary on its consumption. There's a piece of text at the bottom of the illustration, likely a caption or a quote:
"- See on this, how shocking, how fraught is
They make thee, Spirit of grain. A spirit of draught.
'Brogden's Balm of Life is safety'"
and further text that seems to be part of the illustration itself:
"They do it on purpose; folks here is starvin',
And tuckets of gin from noon till night an' the mornin' a pattern."
The overall impression is that this illustration is likely from the 19th century and may be satirical in nature, reflecting on the social issues of the time related to alcohol consumption. The presence of the skeletal figure suggests a grim comment on the consequences of gin drinking. This kind of artwork was common in the era to highlight and critique social issues.
