EDITORS COMMENTS

The Ladder of Fortune, to the American Dream" is a captivating print that encapsulates the essence of an important social movement in 19th century America. This colour lithograph, created by the American School, serves as pro-Temperance propaganda and symbolizes the predominantly female-led campaign to ban alcohol. The image depicts a ladder leading towards a majestic tree representing contentment and fulfillment. Each rung on this symbolic ladder represents values such as integrity, prudence, abstemiousness, sobriety, and morality. It reflects the moral guidance sought by those who fought against alcohol abuse during that time. This artwork not only captures the ambition and determination of individuals striving for success but also highlights their aim to create a better society for future generations. The ladder's teleological nature suggests that achieving temperance was seen as an ultimate goal attainment. As we gaze upon this historical piece from our private collection, we are reminded of how this social movement eventually led to one of America's most significant eras - Prohibition in the 1920s. The image serves as a reminder of both vice and reward; it encourages abstention from harmful habits while promoting family values. "The Ladder of Fortune" stands as an enduring testament to the power of collective action driven by ambition and shared values. It invites us to reflect on our own aspirations for personal growth while considering how our actions can contribute positively towards societal change.
