EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "For God and Home and Native Land. . . Womans Christian Temperance Union" captures the essence of a movement that shaped American history. Taken in 1885, the image showcases the battle flags of the White Ribbon Army, representing the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). The vibrant colors depicted in this color lithograph by an anonymous American artist from the 19th century bring to life the passion and determination of these women. The WCTU was a prominent organization advocating for abstinence from alcohol during a time when excessive drinking plagued society. With their motto "For God and Home and Native Land" these brave women fought against alcoholism, believing it was their religious duty to protect their families and communities. This powerful image serves as both an advertisement for their cause and a symbol of religious devotion. It reminds us of how religion played a significant role in shaping social movements throughout history. The banned alcoholic beverages represented by crossed-out bottles serve as a reminder that this issue was not taken lightly. Today, we can look back on this historical moment with admiration for those who stood up against societal norms to fight for what they believed in. This photograph print is not just an artistic representation; it represents resilience, faith, and unity within the Women's Christian Temperance Union – an integral part of America's past.
