EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Captain is Not Patient" we are transported back to the year 1922, where tensions between British and American authorities were running high due to prohibition. The image captures a dramatic encounter between a British yacht suspected of carrying alcohol and an American customs cruiser near the waters of America. As the customs officer from the prohibition department arrives on scene, demanding that the British captain stop his vessel for inspection, it becomes clear that patience is not a virtue possessed by this defiant captain. In an act of audacity, he forbids the officer from boarding his ship and without hesitation throws him into the sea. This engraving from "Le Petite Journal illustrious" provides us with a glimpse into an era marked by smuggling and defiance against strict regulations. It showcases both the determination of those involved in illegal activities as well as their willingness to go to extreme lengths to protect their illicit cargo. With its intricate details and historical significance, this print serves as a reminder of past conflicts surrounding alcohol prohibition. It invites viewers to reflect upon how societal norms have evolved over time while also highlighting timeless themes such as rebellion and resistance against authority.
