EDITORS COMMENTS
Temperance Movement: The Perils of too much Beer and Baccy (circa 1900) - A powerful visual representation of the Temperance Movement's anti-drinking and anti-smoking campaign during the late 19th century in England. This evocative photograph captures the moral message of the Temperance Movement, which aimed to raise awareness about the perils of excessive drinking and smoking, particularly in rural communities. The image features a donkey wearing a temperance cap, symbolizing the movement's efforts to spread its message far and wide. The donkey is shown carrying a heavy load of pewter tankards and smoking pipes, representing the burden of alcohol and tobacco on individuals and society. The mule, tethered nearby, serves as a reminder of the responsibility that comes with the ability to choose between vice and virtue. The scene is set in a rural area, where the simple pleasures of country life are often accompanied by the temptations of drink and tobacco. The image underscores the idea that even in the most idyllic settings, these vices can lead to danger and harm. The Temperance Movement believed that the moral fabric of society was being threatened by the widespread use of alcohol and tobacco, and this photograph is a poignant reminder of their concerns. The use of props such as the tankards, pipes, and pewter mug adds to the authenticity of the image and reinforces the message of the Temperance Movement. The photograph is a testament to the power of visual storytelling and the enduring impact of the Temperance Movement's campaign against the perils of too much beer and baccy.
