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

1918723Westerville OH: The American Issue Publishing Co. 1918. Very good. Vintage broadside. Image:12.75 x 20 in.; framed: 19 x 26 in. Custom dark brown wood frame matted under UV museum glass. Not examined outside of frame. Very good or better. <br /> <br /> Westerville Ohio was known as the "Dry Capital of the World" and home of the Anti-Saloon League -- the driving force behind the Prohibition movement in the United States. Some historians consider the league - founded in Oberlin Ohio in 1893 but based in Westerville from 1909 to 1973 - to be the first successful single-issue advocacy group a type of lobbying group common in the modern political landscape. This particular broadside from the prolific group admonishes men to "Save your wages for your families and do not sink them in saloons." There are quotes from Father Mahoney who testifies "Only let the claims of Prohibition be put before the Irish Americans and other Catholics in a way worthy of it and of them and all their tender feelings will make them be not only voters for Prohibition but its most earnest and effective guardians." There are further testimonies from anti-saloon advocates from the Knights of Labor and an author who wrote several books regarding the evils of drink. The American Issue Publishing Co. unknown
