EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration, created by the talented John Held Jr. in 1925, is a powerful depiction of the consequences of excessive drinking during the era of Prohibition in America. Titled "With one more stroke to the shapely head, He fell across the picture - Dead" this image tells a haunting story. In this scene, we witness an interior setting with a bar as its centerpiece. A well-dressed man wearing a top hat lies lifeless on the floor, having succumbed to his alcohol-induced stupor. The shattered picture frame and broken glass surrounding him symbolize both physical destruction and shattered dreams. Held's woodcut style adds depth and texture to this thought-provoking artwork. Every line seems purposefully etched to convey emotion and capture attention. The cartoonish elements serve as a stark contrast to the somber theme portrayed. Through this illustration, Held offers social commentary on the detrimental effects of alcohol consumption during Prohibition times. It serves as a reminder that even those who appear sophisticated or successful can fall victim to their vices. Included in John Held Jr. 's Thesis Americana collection, this piece stands out for its raw portrayal of human weakness amidst societal restrictions on alcohol consumption. It serves as both entertainment and cautionary tale about indulgence leading to ruin. The Granger Collection has preserved this significant artwork from American history for us all to reflect upon our own choices while appreciating Held's artistic skill and storytelling ability.
