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. Recent blue leatherette album front cover lettered in silver enclosing 14 silver gelatin photographs preserved in archival sleeves 5 measuring 216 × 279 mm with photographer's signature in negative sequence numbered in blank margin at upper fore edge; 8 measuring 203 × 254 mm; 1 measuring 89 × 140 mm.

19331172New Haven: Connecticut Branch W. O. N. P. R. 1933. Broadside. 7" x 10 1/4. Single sheet printed on one side. Slight age toning. Fine condition. This is an original handbill from a major women's group soliciting votes to repeal Prohibition in 1933.<br /> <br /> Women's organizations--particularly the Women's Christian Temperance Union--are strongly associated with passage of the 18th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution and the national ban on alcoholic beverages it brought in 1919. The major role women played in getting Prohibition repealed is not as widely recognized however.<br /> <br /> This handbill was issued by the Connecticut Branch of the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform W.O.N.P.R. The W.O.N.P.R. was organized in 1929 by women who could no longer ignore the destructive if unintended consequences of Prohibition. <br /> <br /> Here voters are asked to vote for ratification of the 21st Amendment reminding them that "A Vote for Ratification is a Vote for Repeal!" and "A Vote for Ratification is a Vote for Good Government Lower Taxes and Liquor Control." <br /> <br /> The efforts of the W.O.N.P.R. and other repeal groups were successful and Prohibition was repealed with the ratification of the 21st Amendment in December of 1933.<br /> <br /> A tangible piece of Prohibition and women's history.

Unsigned and uninitialed. Corners chipped a closed crack in lower left corner. On verso of board is the name of the type of board and available dimensions "Paints Brush and Color Corporation" with distributors listed as E.H. & A.C.

The camel which Thomas Nast chose as the symbol of the Prohibition Party has replaced the Statue of Liberty on the pedestal. Camels don't drink very often; when they do they only drink water. <br /> This item was likely painted between 1931 and 1933. The official Beer for Prosperity Campaign was organized May 1931 in New York City. Edward H. Schulze was director of the organization and announced that he would support all political candidates in favor of legalizing beer. The slogan spread over the next year and a half. Posters for this campaign in 1932 advertised that legalizing beer would bring two trillion dollars in new revenue in four years because "millions of dollars made from bootleg Beer now finances all kinds of crimes kidnappings etc." Another campaign poster advertised purchases of "Beer for Prosperity" Stamps to "Help Elect to Congress Men Who Will Vote 'Yes.'" Beer for Prosperity Campaign. n.d. In John J. Raskob papers. Manuscripts and Archives Hagley Museum and Library #m473_20100624_005; "Beer For Prosperity Campaign Inc. Will Back Pierce's Congressional Candidacy" The Rutland Daily Herald 23 August 1932 p.7. <br /> We do not know who painted this imaginative item. E.H. & A.C. Friedrichs Company was founded in 1868 and is still in business today under the modern name of Fredrix. The Hirshberg Company originated in 1845 as Hirshberg Hollander & Company and remained in business under a few different Hirshberg names until approximately the early 1960s. Henry B. Taws opened in Philadelphia around 1897 and remained in business until at least 1931. unknown
