A young attractive woman is introduced to the 'pleasures' of gin drinking, c1810. A comparison is being made between the young lady on the right and the drunken old woman on the left who holds the hand of a ragged child. The suggestion is that this is how the young woman will turn out if she starts to drink gin.
