EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an extraordinary illustration titled "Fight Against Alcoholism!" from a protective sleeve for school books dating back to the late 19th century. Created by the talented French School, this colour lithograph offers a fascinating insight into our ancestors' approach towards alcohol consumption. Intriguingly, our forefathers chose to embrace moderation when it came to strong spirits. They preferred water, wine, beer, and cider in measured quantities rather than succumbing to excessive indulgence. This mindful approach not only ensured their physical well-being but also contributed to their legendary status as brave warriors.

With shields held high and a toast raised in unity against alcoholism, these remarkable figures represent both historical significance and a call for responsible drinking habits. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork serves as a reminder of the importance of balance in life's pleasures. It echoes the values instilled by public instruction during that era – promoting health and village solidarity while discouraging excessive alcohol consumption. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece of ephemera from history's pages, let us reflect on our own relationship with alcohol. May it inspire us all to adopt moderation like those gallant Gauls who fought bravely against intoxication while leaving behind an enduring legacy of courage on
