EDITORS COMMENTS
A Temperance Campaigner's Unexpected Encounter in a British Pub! (circa 20th century, Mary Evans Picture Library) This humorous comic postcard captures the moment of truth when a stern Temperance campaigner, donning a "Save Money, Save Life" sash, enters an unruly pub filled with rowdy men. With a determined expression, she sets her sights on the first unsuspecting patron, a middle-aged man with a red nose, pipe in hand, and two pints of beer in front of him. The campaigner, undeterred, approaches the man and attempts to persuade him to give up his vices. However, her persuasive words fall on deaf ears as the man, clearly amused, replies, "But love, it's only nine in the morning!" Meanwhile, another man in the background smokes a pipe and grins at the scene unfolding before him. The campaigner, undeterred, moves on to the next patron, who is equally uninterested in her message. This satirical postcard, likely produced by the renowned British satirical publisher, Donald McGill, uses humor to highlight the challenges of temperance campaigning in a culture where drinking was a common pastime. The comic art style adds to the lightheartedness of the situation, making it a fun and entertaining piece to share with friends. Despite the campaigner's efforts, the men in the pub continue to enjoy their pints, pipes, and morning smokes, leaving the viewer to ponder the effectiveness of verbal persuasion in the face of entrenched habits.
