EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1890 showcases the bustling streets of London, England, where coffee stalls were set up by the Temperance Society to combat drunkenness. The scene is alive with activity as people gather around the stalls for a warm cup of coffee, instead of indulging in alcohol. The intricate details captured in this print transport us back to a time when social issues like excessive drinking were prevalent in society. The presence of these coffee stalls not only provided a much-needed alternative to alcohol but also served as a gathering place for individuals looking for refreshment and community. The artist's skillful hand brings out the essence of daily life in London during the late 19th century, highlighting the importance of temperance and moderation. The contrast between the lively atmosphere around the coffee stalls and the dangers of drunkenness depicted in other parts of society is striking. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of how simple acts like enjoying a cup of coffee can have profound effects on our well-being and social interactions. It serves as a timeless reminder that sometimes all it takes is a small change to make a big difference in our communities.
