About this Event
Take a journey through drunken Victorian Britain told through maps made to convince law makers to stop granting liquor licenses. A โdrink mapโ may sound like a pub guide, yet it refers to late 19th century maps designed to shock people by showing at a glance the numerous places where alcohol could be purchased. Did these lovely temperance tools inspire anger โ or did they just make people thirsty? Admire lovely examples while hearing the story.
Bio: Kris Butler is a lawyer, past president of the Boston Map Society, current board member of the Washington Map Society, and award-winning home brewer. She is the author of Drink Maps in Victorian Britain (2024).
