The demon drink met its match - a photo on Flickriver

The demon drink met its match

The Apostle of Temperance is commemorated in his native Cork and throughout Ireland for his campaign to reduce the misery caused by the 'demon drink'. I.E. alcohol. Not a bad reminder for those who may have overindulged during the season that has just passed and to encourage the choice of a suitable new years resolution? :)

On a more serious note, this lovely Eblana shot with the statue and the lines would appear to be a draft copy and the markings were intended for a cropping or enlargement process.

We would like to wish you all a very happy and prosperous 2019. We look forward to lots of fun exploring the NLI's collection and discovering the stories behind them
