EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "The Temperance Wimp: A Man of Few Words," a humorous 20th-century comic postcard from the Mary Evans Picture Library. This satirical image pokes fun at the Temperance campaign and its advocates, who sought to reduce or eliminate the consumption of alcohol. The central figure, dressed in a Temperance badge and holding a glass of water, is depicted as a wimpish man, contrasted with the robust, beer-drinking men in the background. The double entendre in the title plays on the word "wimp," which can mean both a weak or timid person and a type of cork used to seal a bottle. The man's speech bubble reads, "I'm only speaking for the whisky," adding to the comedic effect. The use of humor and satire in this postcard was a common tactic to engage the public and challenge the seriousness of the Temperance movement, making it an intriguing and entertaining piece of social history.
