Etching of a gin shop: a drunken couple leans on pillars before an arch showing a steaming still, with a small devil and caricature figures around the border.

A drunken man and woman lean against pillars leading to a giant distillery with attendant demon; miscellaneous characters round as border. Etching by G. Cruikshank, 1833, after himself.

An etching with a central arch framed by two Corinthian columns, through which a steaming still and a small devil figure are visible. A drunken man and woman lean against the columns, surrounded by smaller caricature vignettes of figures in the border. The composition is busy, with fine hatched linework and a printed caption at the bottom.
