"The Fruits of Temperance," "The Progress of Intemperance," and "Woman's Holy War" are a series of lithographs created by the American printmaking firm Currier & Ives, known for their popular and affordable prints in the 19th century. These works were part of a larger genre of temperance artwork that proliferated in the United States during the 19th century, reflecting the social movement against the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The temperance movement was a significant moral and social campaign that aimed to curb the consumption of alcohol, citing its negative effects on society, health, and family life.

"The Fruits of Temperance" depicts the positive outcomes associated with abstaining from alcohol, such as health, prosperity, and domestic happiness. In contrast, "The Progress of Intemperance" illustrates the destructive path of alcohol addiction, leading to poverty, moral decay, and death. These two works serve as visual representations of the temperance narrative, promoting the virtues of sobriety and the vices of excess.

"Woman's Holy War" is particularly notable for its portrayal of women as active participants in the temperance crusade. During this era, women played a crucial role in the temperance movement, advocating for reform and the protection of the family unit from the ravages of alcohol abuse. This lithograph likely reflects the influence of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), founded in 1874, which became one of the most influential women's groups of the 19th century and a driving force in the temperance movement.

Together, these lithographs by Currier & Ives not only represent the artistic endeavors of the firm but also serve as historical documents that provide insight into the cultural and social dynamics of the United States during the temperance era. They are emblematic of the moralistic art that sought to influence public opinion and advocate for social reform through powerful and accessible imagery.
