33 c 3c Dull Red, Ty. III (26).> Rich color, tied by lightly struck circular datestamp which might be Hartford (Mich.) on cover to Ford O. with <extraordinarily detailed Temperance design depicting the evils of alcohol and the path to righteousness,> Lit3c Dull Red, Ty. III (26). Rich color, tied by lightly struck circular datestamp which might be Hartford (Mich.) on cover to Ford O. with extraordinarily detailed Temperance design depicting the evils of alcohol and the path to righteousness, "Lith. by R. Burger & Co. Detroit" imprint at bottom, immaculate condition

EXTREMELY FINE. WITHOUT QUESTION THE MOST ELABORATE AND REMARKABLE OF ALL TEMPERANCE PROPAGANDA DESIGNS. THE IMAGERY OF THE EVILS OF ALCOHOL AND THE ARTISTIC STYLE EVOKE THE PAINTINGS OF HIERONYMOUS BOSCH AND BRUEGHEL THE ELDER FROM CENTURIES EARLIER.

On the left side of this depiction are arrayed elements of sin. The "licensed free & easy saloon" offers temptation, drunkenness and dissolution. At upper left a volcano erupts the words "no hope." The road in front of the saloon is labeled "the wages of sin is death" and leads to a devil hidden in an adjacent cave. At center and right, healthy citizens gather under a tree whose trunk and branches extol the benefits of temperance: purity, righteousness, love, peace and domestic happiness.
