Policemen arrest a drunk

Cartoon postcard by Phil May - The New Licensing Act - two policemen escort a (once) smartly-dressed drunkard for a night in the cells to sober up! Under the 1904 Licensing Act, beerhouses that closed would be compensated, the funds being provided by a levy on the owners of the premises (usually the brewers)
