New York: Journal of the American Temperance Union of New York, 1846. Elephant folio linen Broadside, 19" x 23." Printed in blue inks as an "Extra" by the Journal of the American Temperance Union of New York on March 25, 1846. Old folds. A few fox marks, else Very Good.
The broadside urges defeat of the ballot measure authorizing issuance of liquor licenses. Four vignettes illustrate the spectrum of evils caused by the liquor trade: "New York state rum taxes. -- The town meeting. -- The New York farmer groaning under his rum tax. Who will vote license? -- The ballot muster for the 19th of May. -- The drunkard's home. -- Song of the revellers. Old song. Go get your license. -- County rum taxes. -- The liquor dealer shown his victim."
