Print shows an archway of the nine steps of a drunkard's progress, beginning with a man in fancy dress having "a glass with a friend" and then his gradual decline in society with poverty and disease, criminal activity, becoming a bum, and his eventual "death by suicide"; a weeping woman and child are under the archway.
