EDITORS COMMENTS
The powerful imagery of Imre Foldes' 1919 poster, "The alcohol leeds to the doom," serves as a stark reminder of the destructive impact of alcohol on individuals and society. In this striking piece of communist propaganda, Foldes depicts an alcoholic family caught in a downward spiral towards tragedy.
The central figure in the poster is a disheveled man clutching a bottle of booze, his face twisted in despair. Beside him stands a woman with tears streaming down her face, while their children cower in fear at their feet. The scene is set against the backdrop of a looming locomotive, symbolizing the inevitable collision course that awaits those who succumb to alcoholism.
Foldes' message is clear: alcohol consumption leads to ruin and devastation for all who come into contact with it. The working-class setting further emphasizes the detrimental effects of drinking on vulnerable communities, highlighting the need for social change and intervention.
As we reflect on this powerful image, we are reminded of the importance of addressing issues related to addiction and substance abuse within our own communities. Let us heed Foldes' warning and strive towards creating a healthier and more supportive environment for all members of society.
