EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Bible and Temperance, " takes us back to the year 1840 when the temperance movement was at its peak. Created by renowned artist Nathaniel Currier, this print is a powerful visual representation of the values and beliefs held by those advocating for temperance during that era. In plate 4 of this series, we see a scene filled with symbolism and meaning. The central figure is a woman holding an open Bible in one hand while raising her other hand in a gesture of conviction. Her gaze is focused intently on the pages before her, emphasizing the importance she places on scripture as guidance for moral behavior. Surrounding her are individuals from different walks of life: men, women, children - all united under the banner of temperance. They hold various objects associated with their cause such as pledge cards and banners displaying slogans promoting abstinence from alcohol. The composition exudes a sense of determination and unity among these advocates for sobriety. It serves as both an educational tool and propaganda piece aimed at spreading awareness about the dangers of excessive drinking. Currier's skillful use of lithography brings depth to each character's expression, allowing viewers to connect emotionally with their message. This print stands as a testament to the power art has in shaping public opinion and promoting social change. As we admire this historical artifact today, it reminds us not only of past struggles but also encourages reflection on our own attitudes towards moderation and self-control.
