The Effects of the New Liquor Law by Kimmel and Forster

Kimmel and Forster · ca 1865

This hand-colored print depicts an exterior scene of a man and woman pushing a baby carriage down a street. The man is smoking a long Meerschaum pipe and carries a walking stick. The baby sits on a keg of lager; the man has a keg strapped to his back, and a little boy trails behind drinking a mug of beer and carrying a small keg over his shoulder. A small dog approaches a foaming mug of beer in the street behind the boy. In the left background a group of people rally around a lager banner. In the right background a man has fallen to the ground and raises an arm to a woman passerby.
