EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality faced by many families during the 19th century. Titled "CRUIKSHANK: TEMPERANCE" it is an etching created in 1847 by George Cruikshank, as part of his series, The Bottle Plate IV, which aimed to shed light on the evils of alcoholism. In this particular print, we see a group of individuals standing outside a storefront on a desolate street. They are portrayed as destitute and desperate for help. The image depicts both adults and children; a mother with her son and daughter, alongside their father and brother. Their faces tell stories of hardship and despair. The caption emphasizes that these individuals have been driven into begging due to their inability to secure employment because of poverty. It highlights how they are still supplying themselves with alcohol through this means - showcasing the vicious cycle perpetuated by addiction. Cruikshank's etching serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating effects that alcoholism had on families during this time period. It exposes not only the struggles faced by those directly affected but also sheds light on societal issues such as unemployment and homelessness. Sarin Images / The Granger Collection has preserved this historical artwork, allowing us to reflect upon our past while recognizing the importance of temperance movements in combating such social problems even today.
