EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Frontispiece for The Cold Water Army Pledge" captures the essence of a powerful movement that swept through New England in the 19th century. Created by Charles J. Warren in 1842, this print showcases the fervor and determination of young boys and girls advocating for abstinence from alcohol. The image portrays a vibrant scene filled with banners waving proudly, as children march forward with unwavering conviction. The message is clear - they are part of the Cold Water Army, dedicated to promoting sobriety and piety within their communities. In this artwork, we witness an array of emotions etched on their faces - hopefulness, purity, and unwavering faith in their cause. A majestic eagle soars above them symbolizing freedom from the clutches of alcoholism. Springing forth like fresh water from a pure spring, these brave youngsters demonstrate their commitment to temperance while signing the Cold Water Army pledge. Their united voices echo across America as they advocate for a healthier future free from addiction's grip. This engraving serves as both a historical artifact and an inspiration for generations to come. It reminds us that even at such tender ages, children can be catalysts for change when driven by passion and purpose. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, let us reflect on our own roles in creating positive transformations within society – just like these young advocates did over a century ago.
