EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Cold Water Army Pledge, 1842" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Created by the American School in the 19th century, this print showcases the powerful influence of the temperance movement during that time. In this scene, we witness a spirited demonstration advocating for abstinence from alcohol. The image is filled with young boys and girls proudly marching together under banners promoting purity and sobriety. Their youthful faces radiate determination as they take part in Charles J. Warren's Cold Water Army Pledge. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of this social campaign, emphasizing its strong presence in New England society. A majestic eagle soars above them, symbolizing freedom from addiction and embracing a new era of piety. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes evident that these children are not just signing their names on a pledge; they are becoming soldiers fighting against alcohol's destructive grip on their communities. This engraving serves as an inspiring reminder of how even the youngest members of society can make a profound impact when united for a common cause. Through Fine Art Finder's reproduction of this lithograph by Bridgeman Images, we have access to an important artifact that sheds light on America's past struggles with alcoholism while celebrating the strength and resilience found within grassroots movements like The Cold Water Army Pledge.
