EDITORS COMMENTS
. This illustration by John Held Jr. transports us back to the early years of America's Prohibition era. With a keen eye for detail and a touch of dark humor, Held depicts the tragic consequences of alcoholism in this thought-provoking piece. In the center of the image, we see a disheveled drunkard lying on his deathbed, surrounded by empty bottles and remnants of his destructive lifestyle. A single candle flickers ominously beside him, symbolizing both his imminent demise and society's futile attempt to shed light on this pervasive issue. Held's cartoonish style adds an element of satire to the scene as he portrays two men observing their fallen comrade with mixed emotions – perhaps pity mingled with relief that they have not met the same fate. . . yet.

It serves as a reminder that even in times when alcohol was banned, it could not eradicate its allure or prevent its devastating consequences.

May it inspire conversations about responsibility, compassion, and ultimately lead us towards healthier choices for ourselves and our
