The Temperance Crusade - A Drunkard's Perspective
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 20th-century comic postcard from the renowned British satirical publisher, Donald McGill, captures the humorous side of the temperance movement and the perseverance of one particularly inebriated signatory. The scene unfolds in a quintessentially British setting, with a disheveled, red-nosed drunkard, clutching a pen and a petition to shut down the pubs at ten o'clock. The background reveals a bustling office filled with men, some of whom are equally inebriated, all signing the petition with great enthusiasm. A map of London's Isle of Dogs and a clock striking ten serve as reminders of the impending closure time. Despite his state, our drunkard is determined to do his part for the cause, demonstrating a surprising burst of logic as he pens his signature. The absurdity of the situation is further emphasized by the presence of a dog, seemingly unperturbed by the chaos around it. This postcard, with its witty commentary on the temperance movement and the human condition, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Donald McGill's comic art. It offers a lighthearted take on a serious issue, inviting us to laugh at ourselves and the quirks of human behavior.
