LateRooms.com - Check Out Ink and the Bottle at London's Cartoon Museum

An entertaining and interesting exhibition in London entitled Ink and the Bottle examines the role of alcohol in the world of cartoon strips.

2010-12-04

LONDON, ENGLAND, December 04, 2010 (Press-News.org) Fans of cartoon strips will not want to miss the Ink and the Bottle exhibition in London.

The display at the Cartoon Museum explores the role of alcohol in the lives of famous artists from the genre, as well as the way such drinks feature in classic and modern pieces.

Among the names featured in the collection of 90 cartoons are Steve Bell, John Leech, Donald McGill and George Cruikshank.

The latter is well known for his 19th century piece The Worship of Bacchus, which was drawn by the artist after giving up his hard drinking days.

Ink and the Bottle will be available for guests at London hotels to view until February 13th 2011 and the organisers claim there are plenty of great stories to learn at the display.

"[It] looks at our relationship with booze over the last two hundred and fifty years as seen through the eyes of cartoonists," they remarked.

"Like the best affairs, cartoonists' relationship with drink has been turbulent, immensely pleasurable but dangerously addictive."

Paul Trelford opined on the Society Grapevine blog that the exhibition is "well worth" the GBP5.50 charged for admission.

The Cartoon Museum is normally open Tuesdays to Saturdays 10:30 to 17:30 GMT and Sunday from 12:00 until 17:30, but the centre will be closed from December 25th 2010 to January 3rd 2011.
