EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and poignant American cartoon from 1917, published by the Anti-Saloon League. This vintage print highlights the devastating impact of alcohol abuse on children, emphasizing them as the ultimate victims. The image depicts an exterior scene outside a bar in early 20th century America, where poverty-stricken children stand alongside their ragged sister and brother. The cartoon's message is clear: alcoholism tears families apart and perpetuates a cycle of despair. The artist skillfully captures the innocence and vulnerability of these young characters, evoking empathy from viewers. Their expressions reflect both sadness and longing for their absent father who has succumbed to addiction inside the bar. This political cartoon was part of the temperance movement during a time when prohibition was gaining momentum in America. It serves as a call to action against alcohol consumption, aiming to raise awareness about its detrimental effects on society. Through this artwork, we witness how women played an active role in advocating for change through organizations such as the Anti-Saloon League. By highlighting children as victims of alcohol abuse, this broadside aims to evoke compassion and mobilize support for temperance efforts. As we look at this historical piece today, it reminds us that even though times have changed since 1917, there are still battles being fought against substance abuse that continue to affect families worldwide.
