Son of Temperance - A Powerful Symbol of the Prohibition Movement
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "Son of Temperance" created by N. Currier and published in 1848, serves as a vivid representation of the fervent temperance movement that swept across America during the 19th century. The image showcases a resolute man standing tall, his hand confidently placed on his hip, embodying strength and determination. The central message is clear - "No Brother shall make, buy, sell or use as a beverage any spirituous or malt liquors, wine or cider". This powerful statement reflects the unwavering commitment to abstinence from alcohol promoted by the temperance campaign. The man's formal attire and sash adorned with a rosette further emphasize his affiliation with this noble cause. His upright posture exudes innocence and purity while serving as an inspiration for others to follow suit. Intricately detailed and colored lithography brings life to this historical print. Every line speaks volumes about the fight against alcohol consumption that consumed American society at that time. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it reminds us of an era when men like him took up arms against societal vices. It symbolizes their unwavering dedication towards creating a better future free from the clutches of alcoholic beverages. This print stands not only as a testament to history but also as an enduring reminder of our ability to challenge harmful practices in pursuit of progress and change.
