Progress


17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

The Drunkard's Progress - A Sobering Visual Narrative of the Consequences of Alcoholism

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "The Drunkard's Progress," is a visual representation of the nine steps leading to the downfall of an individual due to alcoholism. The print, created around 1846, depicts a man's gradual descent into addiction, from a casual social drink with a friend to the ultimate consequence of suicide. The first step shows the man enjoying a drink with a companion, seemingly harmless and even celebratory. However, as the series progresses, the man's behavior becomes increasingly erratic and destructive. He is shown stumbling home drunk, neglecting his family, losing his job, and ultimately, reaching a state of despair and hopelessness. The final step in the progression is the most harrowing - the drunkard, now a pitiful and broken figure, is shown taking his own life. The image serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of excessive alcohol consumption and the devastating impact it can have on an individual's life. The intricately detailed illustrations in this print are a testament to the skill of the artist, who masterfully conveys the emotional turmoil and physical decline of the drunkard. The use of contrasting colors and dramatic lighting adds to the overall impact of the image, making it a powerful and thought-provoking piece of social commentary from the 19th century. This print, with its poignant message and intricate detail, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the destructive power of alcoholism. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of moderation and the potential consequences of giving in to addiction.
