EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print titled "Temperance" we are transported to a scene where the power of water is celebrated as a symbol of purity and honesty. The image features a man engrossed in reading, holding up a glass filled with clear water, while surrounded by books and literary references. The caption quotes Shakespeare's words from 1843: "Here is that which is too weak to be a sinner - honest Water". The artist behind this remarkable piece is Alfred Crowquill, also known as Alfred Henry Forrester. With his masterful use of black and white mezzotint and etching techniques, he brings depth and texture to the composition. This print not only showcases Crowquill's artistic talent but also reflects the prevailing sentiments of the time. It captures an era when teetotalism was gaining momentum as part of a larger nationalist movement led by figures like Theobald Wolfe Tone. As we admire this work at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of the significance placed on temperance during the 19th century. It serves as both an ode to literature and an endorsement for abstaining from alcohol, emphasizing how water can be seen as a powerful force against temptation. Through its historical context and artistic excellence, T. W. Huffam's photograph print invites us to contemplate themes such as rebellion, revolution, nationalism, and personal choices regarding drink consumption – all encapsulated within one mesmerizing image.
