Rechabite: Temperance, Fortitude, and Justice, 1849

A member of the order, posed like a governor.

What

A hand-coloured lithograph of 1849 of a Rechabite in his sash, held by the Library of Congress.

Why

The temperance orders gave their members regalia, and here a member stands in his.

Notice

The red curtain, the lake through the window, and the sofa: all the furniture of respectability.

“The pledge as a badge of rank.”
