Alcoholic Daddy Drunk Drunken Prohibition Propaganda Temperance
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print titled "Is that You, Daddy?" captures a poignant moment in American history during the era of prohibition. The image depicts two young children peering through a bar window, with one child asking the question, "Is that you, Daddy?" This scene serves as propaganda for temperance and prohibition, suggesting that every man who frequents a bar will inevitably become a drunken sot.
The historical context of this photograph is significant, as it reflects the societal attitudes towards alcohol consumption in America during the early 20th century. The temperance movement sought to curb excessive drinking and its negative effects on families and communities. By portraying a father figure as potentially succumbing to alcoholism, this image aims to deter men from patronizing bars and indulging in excessive drinking.
The composition of the photograph is striking, with the innocent faces of the children juxtaposed against the backdrop of a dimly lit bar. The message conveyed is clear: alcohol consumption can have detrimental consequences not only for individuals but also for their loved ones.
Overall, "Is that You, Daddy?" serves as a reminder of an important chapter in American history when efforts were made to combat alcohol abuse and promote sobriety.
