Coming to the wrong shop
Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby holds a paper that states, “Petition for the Reduction of the Grog Shops in New York –Dr. Crosby.” He is standing in the “Council-Chamber of the New York Board of Aldermen,” facing a group of anthropomorphized liquor barrels, bottles, and jugs, some labeled “Rum Seller, Liquor Dealer, [and] Gin-Mill Keeper.” Caption: Chorus of Aldermen – “We will use our ‘very best judgement’ to assist this worthy movement.”
