Broadside sheet [issued by an unnamed temperance society] illustrating the evils of alcohol. A crude woodcut is featured [top left of the sheet]. A figure/cadaver of Death is shown behind a group of men who are smoking and drinking from a large bowl of alcohol placed in a centre of a round table; devils [some with small axes] are perched on their shoulders; a devil is also seated underneath the table. Death carries a scythe and an hourglass.
