The Drunkard's Progress - A Sobering Journey from Friendship to Tragedy

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-colored lithograph, created by Kelloggs and Thayer in 1846, depicts a powerful narrative of the perils of alcoholism. Titled "The Drunkard's Progress" it portrays nine distinct stages that lead an individual down a treacherous path towards self-destruction. Beginning innocently with "A glass with a friend" the lithograph takes us on a haunting journey through various steps such as "Conviviality" "Quarrelsomeness" and "Disease". Each step showcases the gradual deterioration of both physical and mental health caused by excessive drinking. As we progress further into this chilling illustration, we witness the devastating consequences that follow. The final stage is depicted as "Death by suicide" serving as a stark reminder of the ultimate tragedy that can result from unchecked alcohol abuse. This thought-provoking artwork not only highlights the destructive nature of alcoholism but also reflects upon societal concerns during its time. Created amidst America's temperance movement, it aimed to raise awareness about the detrimental effects of excessive drinking on individuals and their communities. Kelloggs and Thayer skillfully captured these themes through intricate details, vivid colors, and expressive characters. Their work serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an important historical artifact shedding light on one of society's enduring struggles – combating alcohol addiction. Now preserved in The Granger Collection in New York, this print continues to
