The Drunkard’s Children, Plate VIII (final scene):  The maniac father and convict brother are gone - the poor girl, homeless, friendless, destitute, and gin mad, commits self-murder. George Cruikshank, 1848

(A folding book containing eight scenes; the first; the son and daughter drinking in a gin shop surrounded by low characters; the second; the son gambling, other men and women singing and drinking; the third; the daughter dancing, surrounded by other nefarious looking dancers; the fourth; the son in bed at a lodging house, arrested by policemen for committing a robbery; the fifth; the son in the dock, lawyers and the jury looking at him, his sister crying next to him; the sixth; the son, sentenced to transportation, beckoned off by the gaoler, his sister weeping on his shoulder; the seventh; the son, dying in the sick-berth of a prison hulk, attended by a doctor and the priest, a convict looking on; the eighth, the daughter throwing herself from a bridge in despair.)
