Antique Victorian-era temperance movement postcard features a powerful anti-alcohol message titled "My Boys" by Frank C. Cooper. Published by A.T. Cook, the "Temperance Seed Man" of Hyde Park, N.Y., this unposted card displays a striking graphic of four young boys juxtaposed against a whiskey bottle and a snake. The orange-toned cardstock and detailed border art reflect late 19th to early 20th-century social reform propaganda.
