The curiosities of ale & beer: an entertaining history
A social and cultural history of ale and beer, written by John Bickerdyke and published in London by Swan Sonnenschein in 1889 for general readers interested in drinking customs. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut-style scenes of taverns, innkeepers, drinking vessels and feasting, which a designer could draw on for vintage tavern or medieval-revival graphics.
