"Protection": pro-temperance postcard showing Britannia fending off the beast 'drink' with a sword. A mother and children in ragged clothing are behind her, several of them carrying a banner with the slogan 'Britannia will save her children', and one child on crutches. A packed county asylum, county jail / prison and the fusel oil (alcohol) trust vaults can be seen in the background. The image was produced by the painter Rudolf Blind (1850-1916)
