This print, titled *Temperance album* and dated c1871 in its record, carries a U.S. copyright entry, which places it during a period when the temperance movement was becoming a broad public campaign against alcohol. Temperance imagery of this era often appeared in printed sheets and albums meant for home or society use, where moral scenes and sentimental pictures reinforced the call to abstain from drink. The record links the piece to the firm Donaldson Brothers, but that attribution is marked as unverified, so the maker should be treated with caution.
