Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam, 1758. Oil on canvas. 37 3/4"
x 75 1/4". (Courtesy, Saint Louis Art Museum.) Eighteenth-century prints
and paintings have recorded numerous depictions of tavern life. These leave
little doubt as to the large amounts of ceramics and glass that would succumb
during a night of spirited revelry. |
