Description |
English: The work was designed, engraved, and published by Edward Gallaudet in 1831, in Boston, Massachusetts. The engraving is a series of six smaller portraits of a man as he transitions from sobriety into drunkenness. It depicts a man morphing from a good citizen into a monstrous character. The Progress of Intemperance shows the ugliness of excessive indulgence. It was a symbol of moderation. |
