EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant era in American history - the early 1900s when Prohibition was at its peak. The image showcases a powerful poster published by the Temperance Commissions Strengthen America campaign in 1919. In this thought-provoking artwork, we see a determined man holding a hammer with one hand while clutching an empty bottle of alcohol in the other. His stern expression reflects his commitment to smashing the influence of saloons and eradicating alcohol from society. The text on the poster simply states "Close the Saloons" conveying a clear message that resonated with many Americans during that time. This bold call for action aimed to address social issues related to excessive drinking and its detrimental effects on individuals, families, and communities. The composition is strikingly simple yet impactful, emphasizing both visual and textual elements as tools for change. The monochromatic palette adds depth and intensity to this historical snapshot, transporting us back to an era defined by debates surrounding temperance. As we gaze upon this vintage print from Granger Art on Demand's collection, it serves as a reminder of how societal values evolve over time. It invites contemplation about our past struggles with alcohol consumption while acknowledging efforts made towards creating healthier communities today.
