EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Temperance No Maine Law 1854" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the Gem Saloon, an iconic establishment of its time, located on the corner of Broadway and Anthony Street in New York City. This historic hotel housed the largest mirror in the city and was frequented by Mayor Fernando Wood and other notable figures. The lithograph artfully captures a scene from a heated debate surrounding alcohol regulation during this era. It vividly portrays individuals engaged in passionate discussions about temperance and the controversial "no Maine law" movement. The artwork serves as a visual representation of the intense emotions that surrounded this issue at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported to an era where societal attitudes towards alcohol were fiercely debated. The artist's attention to detail brings every character to life, allowing us to glimpse into their expressions and body language as they engage in these contentious conversations. Today, this lithograph holds immense historical value and is now worth more than just its artistic merit. It serves as a window into an important chapter of American history when debates over alcohol regulation raged across the nation.
