EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lantern slide, titled "The Bottle, Part 4" from the series entitled "Temperance Tale," depicts a poignant and heart-wrenching scene from the early 1910s. The image shows a drunken man and his distressed family gathered around a fireplace in an empty room. The man, with tears streaming down his face, cradles a bottle in one hand, while his wife and children weep over the loss of their youngest child. The room is dimly lit, with only the flickering fire casting an eerie glow over the scene. The curtains hanging in the background are drawn closed, adding to the sense of isolation and despair. The title "Curtains & Flags" is written on the slide box, suggesting that this image may have been part of a larger presentation or lecture on the topic of temperance and the destructive effects of alcohol on families. This powerful and moving image serves as a stark reminder of the human toll of addiction and the importance of temperance, a message that resonated deeply during the Progressive Era and beyond.
