EDITORS COMMENTS
Sign the Pledge: A Moment of Resolution in the Early 1900s (Circa 1900, Sign the Pledge - Tim being persuaded to stop drinking. Part of the Box 79 Boswell Collection, Timothy Crab) This evocative lantern slide image, titled "Sign the Pledge," captures a poignant moment in the life of Timothy Crab as he is persuaded to take a pledge to stop drinking. The year is circa 1900, and the photograph is part of the extensive Box 79 Boswell Collection. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, with a single lantern casting a warm, yellow glow. Tim, a man in his late forties, sits at a small table, his face etched with the lines of weariness and regret. His eyes are downcast, and his hands are clenched tightly around the edge of the table. Behind him, a group of concerned friends and family members gather, their faces a mixture of hope and determination. The central figure in the scene is a large, ornate sign that reads, "Sign the Pledge." It is held aloft by one of Tim's friends, who urges him to make a commitment to sobriety. Tim hesitates, his expression uncertain, as he considers the weight of his decision. The other onlookers watch intently, their eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and support. This powerful image speaks to the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit, as well as the enduring power of community and friendship. It is a poignant reminder of the challenges that many faced in the early 1900s, and the importance of support and determination in overcoming them. The lantern slide, with its rich detail and evocative lighting, transports us back in time, allowing us to bear witness to a moment of resolution and hope.
