EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases "The Diamond Jubilee Thermometer of Life" a remarkable print created by M. M. Whelan and Company in 1897. The engraving, executed by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. The image depicts a significant theme prevalent during Queen Victoria's reign - the temperance movement. This movement aimed to highlight both the causes and effects of alcohol consumption on society. The thermometer serves as a powerful metaphor for measuring one's level of abstention or indulgence in alcoholic beverages. Intriguingly Victorian, this print encourages viewers to reflect upon their own relationship with alcoholism and promotes abstemiousness as an ideal virtue. It symbolizes the societal shift towards moderation and self-control during that era. "The Diamond Jubilee Thermometer of Life" not only captures historical sentiments but also provides insight into the prevailing attitudes surrounding alcohol at that time. Its intricate details invite us to ponder how our choices can impact our lives and those around us. As we gaze upon this fascinating piece, we are reminded of Queen Victoria's influence on shaping public opinion regarding social issues like alcohol consumption. This artwork stands as a testament to her enduring legacy while serving as a reminder that even today, understanding the consequences of our actions remains essential for personal growth and societal progress.
