'The Morning After "He greatly daring dined"'


This photograph (taken in 1845) by Robert Adamson and david Octavius Hill laughs at Hill's experiences with hangovers, and serves as a general statement about excess alcohol consumption. Hill is seated at the left, and his hand is being held by surgeon and anatomist James Miller, all the while the Roman bust looks away in disgust.

It has apparently been documented that Hill definitely did enjoy his drinks.
