The Road to Ruin
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration by John Held, Jr. , created in 1925 during the early years of prohibition in America. This thought-provoking image depicts an exterior view of a bar with a sign that reads "DRINKING". Held's cartoonish style adds a touch of humor to the otherwise serious subject matter. The woodcut-like texture and attention to detail transport us back to the turn of the century, where alcohol consumption was seen as both entertainment and political issue. The women portrayed in the illustration symbolize societal concerns about morality and gender roles during this era. Held's artwork serves as a powerful commentary on the consequences of prohibition, which ultimately led to an increase in bootlegging and illegal drinking establishments. "The Road to Ruin" captures the irony surrounding attempts at controlling alcohol consumption through legislation. This print from The Granger Collection allows viewers to appreciate Held's talent for capturing American culture and history through his illustrations. It reminds us of how art can provide valuable insights into past events and social movements.
