EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print from the early 20th century showcases a scene of domestic turmoil and the destructive consequences of alcoholism. The cover of a school exercise book, it depicts a drunkard terrorizing his family in vivid color lithography. The image portrays the exhaustion and mindlessness caused by excessive drinking, as the man's violent actions instill fear in his loved ones. The French School artist behind this powerful piece sheds light on the brutality and dangers associated with alcohol abuse. The woman, clearly intoxicated herself, becomes a victim of her husband's aggression. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a stark reminder of the perils that accompany drunkenness. Alcoholism is portrayed here not only as an individual struggle but also as an affliction that affects entire families. It highlights how this vice can lead to abrutissement par l'alcool (mental dullness caused by alcohol) and jeopardize familial harmony. The image evokes strong emotions through its depiction of violence, danger, and despair. It serves as a cautionary tale about the devastating effects of excessive drinking on both individuals and their relationships. As we observe this poignant snapshot from history, let us reflect upon society's ongoing battle against alcoholism and strive for healthier choices that promote well-being within our families and communities.
