"The Tree of Temperance" is a notable lithograph produced by the renowned American printmaking firm Currier & Ives. Established by Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives, the firm was active from 1835 to 1907 and became famous for its wide array of prints that captured various aspects of 19th-century American life, including landscapes, historical events, and social issues. "The Tree of Temperance" is one of their works that reflects the social reform movements of the time, particularly the temperance movement, which advocated for the moderation or complete abstinence from alcoholic beverages.

The lithograph is emblematic of the moral and social values promoted by the temperance movement. It typically features a tree, symbolizing the virtues and benefits of temperance, with its branches and leaves representing various positive outcomes such as health, wealth, and happiness. The roots of the tree often symbolize the foundational principles of temperance, such as self-control and moral integrity. Conversely, the print may also depict the negative consequences of intemperance, often illustrated through contrasting imagery of a "Tree of Intemperance," which shows the detrimental effects of alcohol consumption, including poverty, disease, and social decay.

Currier & Ives' "The Tree of Temperance" served both as a piece of art and a didactic tool, aiming to educate and persuade the public about the virtues of leading a temperate lifestyle. The print would have been widely distributed and accessible, reflecting the firm's commitment to producing affordable art for the American middle class. This work is a testament to the role of visual culture in social reform movements and provides insight into the moral landscape of 19th-century America. Through its detailed and symbolic imagery, "The Tree of Temperance" remains a significant artifact in the study of American social history and the temperance movement.
