Item Details
Description
1926 version of a famous pictorial map of the United States during Prohibition, humorously satirizing the widespread disobedience of the anti-alcohol laws throughout the nation. McCandlish pokes fun at the ineffectiveness of the law in every region of the country with illustrations of stills and ingredients for brewing alcoholic beverages, and puns on place names such as “Or-Gone,” “VirGINia,” and “Sin Sin Natti.” A diagram of “Pints of the Compass” points out the directions “Norse,” “Souse,” “Yeast” and “Wets.” A caption under the title reads “Honi soit gui mal y pints,” a play on words on the motto of Great Britain. Copyright 1926 by Edward McCandlish. Size: 56 cm x 88 cm.
