Thirty-six temperance postcards were published by A. T. Cook, Seedsman, Hyde Park, New York.

The majority were designed by the artist J. O. Hulbert.
When I was posting the large images I noticed Hulbert was from Glastonbury, the next town over from where I work in Connecticut...cool....
Temperance postcards were widely distributed by the Women's Christian Temperance
Union in the 19th and early 20th centuries to attack the liquor trade.
I found a few on eBay, and the CardCow has a ton more. Finding Cook's name on them is sometimes a bit of a "Where's Waldo" game.
