Description:


At first sight, this intriguing map appears to offer a guide to the pubs of Victorian Oxford, designed in a similar way to tourist maps today. Beerhouses, breweries and other licensed premises are all shown, clustered around a specific part of the city centre.

But an explanation on the reverse shows this wasn't the original intention. Published in 1883 by the Temperance Movement, the map was designed to show how the poorer areas of Oxford were heavily populated with drinking establishments and the text explains the detrimental effect of alcohol on local inhabitants: 'the result is idleness and ill-health, and very frequently poverty and crime.' The map also reveals how few 'drink-shops' (shown in red) appear in North Oxford, where the magistrates who granted the licences were most likely to live. This unique map was therefore intended to prevent alcohol consumption, while at the same time demonstrating how easy it was to find somewhere to drink. Today, it offers a fascinating insight into the drinking habits of the former citizens of this world-renowned city.

'The Drink Map' is reproduced with the original text and a commentary on the reverse.

CUTE LITTLE PINK JEWELRY BOX GREAT FOR THIN CHAINS AND RINGS
Color: Jelly Pink, Size: 8"W
The Jewelry box was a great Pink Color. I understand the dimensions were posted but I did not understand the box was as small as it was. The box however was sturdy and made with great quality. It is a great box for small non bulky jewelry. I would buy again.

Very nice for the price
Color: Jelly Pink, Size: 8"W, Color: Jelly Pink, Size: 8"W
This is a very nice jewelry case, especially for the price (around $10). I want to note that it is top heavy; even without the mirror inside the top part it tips over (won't sit flat on the bottom part when open, most of the time). There are some minor imperfections in the case, but nothing that will prevent it from doing its job and it still looks really nice. The necklace pocket does not have any dividers, it's one pocket. The zipper tabs look like they were painted, I'm not sure what material is underneath, but I'm hoping it does not chip over time. The stitching on the case looks nicely done.

Perfect for travel. Sturdy and will keep your items safe.
Color: Cloud White, Size: 8"W, Color: Cloud White, Size: 8"W
This was a galentines gift for a gift exchange. It comes with multiple compartments that are removable and can hold any type of jewelry from studs to necklaces, rings and bracelets. Any solid bracelet takes some maneuvering to hold. This is semi customizable to fit your needs and will house most jewelry items. The zipper does get stuck a bit but is a strong thick zipper and not super flimsy. The inserts on the sides can be removed, however, the ring inserts seem to be glued down. Bigger jewelry or chunky jewelry pieces may not fit well in this travel case. All in all it can hold quite a bit, the size is compact and perfect for travel and it’s a handy organizer for jewelry.

Great Value For The Money
Color: White
I needed something to present my daughter's upcoming 18th birthday gift in. It's a charm bracelet and a bunch of individual meaningful charms. None of them come in gift boxes, and I want something to present them all together in. Failing to find a gift box to fit the bill, I thought that this cute jewelry box would be a nice alternative. I am pleasantly surprised at what I received for the price. I expected a flimsy cardboard-ish box, and this is not that. It's not heirloom quality, but it is a nice sturdy box, well put together, and the interior tray and dividers are thick. Interior fabric is nicely soft and velvety. The box is larger than I expected, it will hold a good amount of jewelry, and it's pretty and of much better quality than I anticipated. Will certainly make a very nice presentation for my daughter's gift, and she'll be able to use it for many years, I'm sure.
