1932181780East Hartford CT & Palm Beach County FL: 1932-c.1933. A collection of photographs documenting the seizure of illegal moonshine stills in Connecticut and Florida during Prohibition and following its repeal. The photographs are from the library of Ralph A. Johnson a revenue agent for the Bureau of Prohibition and its successor the Bureau of Alcohol Tax Unit. Moonshining flourished under Prohibition and even after its repeal its cheapness - and to some its taste - ensured it continued. Across the New England countryside farms housed industrial-sized moonshine operations. The first nine images show an immense moonshine still with vats and equipment inside a Connecticut barn raided by the Bureau of Prohibition on 14 July 1932. Johnson is shown standing next to an unidentified well-dressed man perhaps the moonshiner. The remaining five images depict a large still in Florida seized by the Alcohol Tax Unit in 1933 showing large copper stills connected to barrels above cooking fires glass carboys for the product and barrels with stove-in tops. Taken by Ernest Kirbell signed in the negative a crime photographer with the Connecticut State Police Department these images document the continued profitability of moonshining after Prohibition's repeal.

1920LIST120American 1920. Gelatin silver photograph 5 ½ x 3 ½ inches on Cyko stock photo paper. Very Good. A scarce photograph of a bootlegging operation c. early 1920s. The photograph is printed on Cyko stock which was used through the early 1920s. Few images of bootleggers have survived. The six men in the picture look quite serious in their work and it's difficult to imagine why they allowed a picture to be taken. A very good example with good contrast well preserved. unknown books

188930728New York: The National Temperance Society and Publication House 1889. Original printed wrappers some edge and spine chipping rear wrapper detached but present and original staples. 36pp. Clean text. Except as noted Very Good.<br/><br/> In 1881 Kansas enacted a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture or sale of alcoholic beverages. Doing so was a misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment. The amendment effectively rendered Peter Mugler who operated a brewery unemployed. He brought suit claiming that Kansas had unconstitutionally deprived him of his property in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Writing for the Court Justice Harlan-- who would issue a powerful dissent several years later in the notorious case of Plessy vs. Ferguson-- held that the amendment was a permissible exercise of the State's police powers which have always been reserved to the States as an attribute of their sovereignty. <br/> The rear wrapper advertises works sponsored by the National Temperance Society.<br/>OCLC locates eleven copies under two accession numbers as of November 2013.
