Gin Lane mb-code 1238245 The giant figures of Gog'Gin Lane', 1751. The scene is the St Giles slums. A child falls to its death from the arms of its drunk mother who sits with ulcerated legs. A skeletal figure holds an empty glass. Goods are being pawned in order to buy gin, a baby is being fed with gin, a corpse is put into a coffin in the background. The pawnbroker, distiller and undertaker are the only well off and successful people in the neighbourhood. Third of four states of plate. This print
