Reason: This is a lithograph by Nathaniel Currier supporting the temperance movement by showing the stages of alcoholism in the United States. The lithograph was drawn in January 1846 to support the growing anti-alcoholism sentiment which culminated in the United States with the passage of the 18th amendment to the United States Constitution, which outlawed the manufacture, transportation and sale of all alcoholic beverage within the United States. Despite its best intentions, the amendment proved to be a spectacular failure, and was ultimately repealed by the 21st amendment.
