PROHIBITION CARTOON, 1889 - A Cold Reception Everywhere
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Joseph Keppler takes us back to the late 19th century in America during the Progressive Era. Titled "A Cold Reception Everywhere" it humorously depicts Old Man Prohibition facing a less-than-warm welcome from states without dry laws at the time. The cartoon captures the political climate surrounding alcohol and prohibition, as men representing these states stand defiantly against Old Man Prohibition. With their arms crossed and stern expressions, they symbolize resistance to temperance measures that sought to restrict or ban alcohol consumption. Keppler's artistic style beautifully conveys both the seriousness of this movement and its comical undertones. The detailed illustrations highlight the diversity of characters involved in this debate, reflecting different social classes and backgrounds affected by prohibition policies. This artwork serves as a reminder of an important chapter in American history when political acts like the 18th Amendment aimed to reshape society's relationship with alcohol. It also prompts reflection on how public sentiment towards such movements can vary across different regions within a country. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print, let us appreciate its historical significance and ponder how societal attitudes have evolved since then.
