During the Nineteenth too early on Twentieth Centuries the Temperance motility campaigned against the consumption of alcohol. The vogue of the Temperance motility to come across alcohol or alcoholism equally unopen to shape of social affliction is apparent inwards maps such equally the Modern Plague of London, which was created yesteryear the National Temperance Publication Depot inwards 1886.
Almost at the same fourth dimension equally the National Temperance Publication Depot was mapping the location of pubs inwards London a Republican senator, called Henry Blair, was mapping the locations of saloons inwards New York City. The Saloon Map of New York map plots 10,168 saloons too places selling alcohol across the city. The map was published inwards 1888 too shows that inwards unopen to areas of New York at that spot were nearly equally many saloons equally at that spot were buildings.
The senator wasn't the offset mortal to map drinking establishments inwards New York City. In 1881 the secretarial assistant of the Church of England Temperance Society, Robert Graham, traveled to America too inwards 1883 he published a pamphlet entitled, Liquordom inwards New York City, New York. The pamphlet included a issue of maps showing the locations of 'liquor saloons' too 'lager beer saloons'.
As amongst senator Henry Blair's map the maps inwards Robert Graham's pamphlet present that many neighborhoods inwards Nineteenth Century New York City had a fantastic pick for those who liked a niggling drinkable (or fifty-fifty a lot).
