Alcoholism Barrel Break Entertainment Invade Liquor Raid Temperance Movement
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the triumph of women in Fredericktown, Ohio, as they waged war against the destructive influence of ardent spirits. The year is 1890, and the temperance movement is at its peak. In this line engraving from the Police Gazette, we witness an interior scene that speaks volumes about the determination and resilience of these courageous ladies. Armed with axes and fueled by their unwavering conviction, these women break into a bar to confront alcoholism head-on. Their faces reveal both determination and concern for their community's well-being. As they invade this den of vice, barrels filled with liquor stand as symbols of temptation and addiction. The setting itself reflects a turn-of-the-century North American establishment - dimly lit with wooden furniture scattered around. This image not only highlights the bravery of these women but also sheds light on how entertainment was intertwined with alcohol during that era. Through this powerful visual narrative, we are reminded of the transformative power individuals possess when united for a common cause. These brave women abolished the traffic of ardent spirits in their town through sheer willpower and collective action. This historic photograph serves as a testament to their indomitable spirit while shedding light on an important chapter in American social reform movements. It stands as an enduring symbol of empowerment and reminds us that change can be achieved even against seemingly insurmountable odds.
