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

1920List1317Southern California 1920. Limp leatherette album oblong 4to measuring 10 x 7 inches with seventy photographs most measuring 4 x 2 ½ inches. Wear to binding photographs with excellent contrast very good to near fine overall. Near Fine. An energetic album of photographs belonging to one Eddie Jones a fun-loving banjo player from Santa Ana mostly composed of photographs of musicians performing at small parties and functions during the prohibition era. Jones was apparently quite active on the local scene and the album is mostly made up of candid photographs of musicians all captioned some humorously. Many of the photographs show small bands playing guitars many of them playing with slides likely due to the popularity of Hawaiian music at the time. Also included are many photographs of parades in and around Los Angeles as well as photographs of the 1925 Santa Barbara Earthquake showing damaged buildings. Two photographs feature a glass of rye others show agricultural scenes. Newspaper clippings in the back center on the Santa Ana and it’s possible that Jones - who was the common name mentioned in these clippings - was also a farmer from the Santa Ana area when he wasn’t playing music. One photograph shows San Diego a couple show a bullfight in Tijuana. Overall an evocative and well preserved piece of California Prohibition-era history. unknown

1933157897Cincinnati: Romach and Groene 1933. Vintage photograph of the first legal whiskey produced in Ohio during prohibition at the Carthage Distilling Company in Cincinnati with contemporary annotations of location dates and personnel and a "Rombach and Groene Commercial Photographers Cincinnati Ohio" stamp on the verso. <br /> <br /> A fascinating prohibition artifact depicting fifteen men and one woman standing in a warehouse before a stack of three whiskey barrels the topmost barrel prominently marked "1" less than two months before the passage of the 21st Amendment December 5 1933 repealing prohibition. On the verso in a contemporary hand is written: "First Barrel Whiskey produced in the State of Ohio since the 18th amendment became effective / manufactured and produced at the Carthage Distilling Corpn. plant Cincinnati Ohio / mashed under date Oct. 20th 1933 / drawn and entered under date Oct. 23rd 1933."<br /> <br /> Cincinnati Ohio second only to Louisville Kentucky in the production of bourbon prior to the end of prohibition was best known during prohibition as the headquarters for the "King of Bootleggers" George Remus. Cincinnati was located within a 300 mile radius of 80 percent of all of America's bonded whiskeys making it an ideal location for a massive bootlegging enterprise as well as for the headquarters to the Schenley Distillery one of only six distilleries nationwide with a license to sell medicinal spirits during prohibition. An October 26 1933 article from the Cincinnati Enquirer entitled "Big Blending Plant Planned For Reading; First Legal Whisky In Ohio Is Produced" confirms the annotations on the photograph "Simultaneously with the actual production of medicinal whisky at its plant in Carthage-said to be the first legal whisky turned out in Ohio since prohibition-it became known yesterday that the National Distillers Products Corporation New York largest distiller in the country will locate one of its major blending and bottling plants in the immediate vicinity of Cincinnati." The article continues "The Carthage Distillery on Anthony Wayne Avenue Carthage is the only distillery now operating in the state of Ohio." In 1933 the Carthage Distilling Company was acquired by the National Distillers Products Corporation and in 1987 was bought by Jim Beam.<br /> <br /> Established in 1883 Cincinnati photographers Rombach and Groene specialized in commercial and landscape photography. In 2001 the Cincinnati Museum Center acquired the Rombach and Groene Collection a collection of over 6500 glass and film negatives and a hundred prints dating from 1870 to 1970. The company closed in 1973.<br /> <br /> 10 x 8 inches. Very Good with some modest creasing four small bruises and a small repair to the surface of the image to the center right. Romach and Groene unknown
193341184n.p. 1933. 8" x 12". Original color painting on Abacco illustration board matted and framed behind glass. Vibrant colors with some pencil sketch lines showing through. 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. Friedrichs Co. of New York The Hirshberg Company of Baltimore and Henry M. Taws of Philadelphia. Very Good. <br /> <br /> Ours is the only copy located after diligent investigation. 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
