EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage print titled "I Do Not Drink. Do You Obstainja Postcard" we are introduced to the adorable four-year-old Miss Temperance, Dorothy Johnson. With her innocent expression and curly hair cascading down, she stands before us with her hand raised and a sash proudly adorning her small frame. The geometric shape of the circle emphasizes her message as she gestures towards the text that reads "I Do Not Drink. Do You Obstainja". Dorothy's facial expression exudes honesty and purity, making it hard for anyone to resist her plea for volunteers. This postcard served as a recruiting tool for the temperance movement during its peak in 1935, appealing to people's sense of social responsibility and promoting abstinence from alcohol. The lithograph captures both the innocence of childhood and the seriousness of social issues at that time. It was part of a series produced by non-professionals under the American design arts company Curt Teich Company. This image represents an era when reformers fought against alcohol consumption through political and social activism. It reflects how even young girls like Dorothy were involved in spreading propaganda for causes they believed in. As we gaze upon this charming photograph, we cannot help but be reminded of our own role in shaping society today – just as these brave individuals did almost a century ago.
