The Temperance Crusade - Who will win?
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating cartoon print from an American newspaper dating back to 1874. This thought-provoking image captures the essence of the Temperance Movement, a significant social and political movement in America during that era. Set against the backdrop of a bustling city street, the cartoon portrays a scene outside a bar. In this lively yet chaotic setting, we witness men and women engaged in various activities related to alcohol consumption. Some individuals are visibly drunk and stumbling around, while others appear late for their engagements due to intoxication. The central theme of this artwork revolves around contrasting ideologies: those advocating for temperance versus those indulging in excessive drinking habits. The cartoon cleverly depicts two opposing groups – one consisting of men kneeling in prayer, representing the temperance advocates; and another group comprising bartenders and drunkards who seem oblivious to their surroundings. This illustration not only highlights the prevalence of alcoholism but also serves as commentary on politics and entertainment during that time period. It sheds light on how deeply ingrained alcohol was within American society at that time, prompting discussions about its impact on public health and morality. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by The Granger Collection from New York, it prompts us to ponder over who will emerge victorious in this battle between sobriety and excess – ultimately questioning which path America would choose regarding its relationship with alcohol.
