EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically to the Temperance Movement of 1915. Titled "Counting the Cost" this wood engraving trade card serves as a powerful visual reminder of the movement's mission to combat alcoholism. The image depicts a group of men huddled together, seemingly trapped in an alcoholic cycle. Their faces bear expressions of despair and regret, reflecting the toll that excessive drinking has taken on their lives. In the center lies a bottle of beer, symbolizing temptation and addiction. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this social movement through intricate details and expert use of wood engraving techniques. The lines are sharp and precise, emphasizing both the somber mood and importance behind this cause. By showcasing this trade card, Granger Collection invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with alcohol consumption while honoring those who fought for temperance during that era. It serves as a poignant reminder that even today, we must remain vigilant in addressing issues related to substance abuse. Whether displayed in homes or public spaces, this print sparks conversations about personal responsibility and societal change. It stands as a testament to how art can transcend time by shedding light on historical movements that continue to shape our present-day values.
