EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Son and Daughter of Temperance" takes us back to the 19th century when the temperance movement was at its peak. Created by N. Currier and published in 1850, this color lithograph showcases the American School's talent for capturing powerful imagery. In this print, we see a young man and woman standing side by side, representing the sons and daughters who joined forces in the fight against alcohol consumption. Both figures exude an air of determination as they stand tall in their formal attire, adorned with sashes symbolizing their commitment to the cause. The artist skillfully portrays innocence on their faces while subtly hinting at the destructive influence of alcohol through various elements present in the composition. The snowy backdrop serves as a metaphorical contrast between purity and vice. This lithograph is not merely a portrait but also a visual representation of a larger campaign that aimed to raise awareness about excessive drinking and promote abstinence within society. It reminds us of how significant this movement was during that era, highlighting both men and women's roles in advocating for change. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from The Stapleton Collection, it prompts reflection on our own relationship with alcoholic beverages today. It serves as a reminder that even though times have changed since then, issues surrounding alcohol consumption remain relevant – making it all the more important to appreciate art pieces like these that carry timeless messages.
