Marching through Georgia - A Defiant Procession for Prohibition, 1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration, published in Puck magazine on January 15, 1908, captures the spirit of the burgeoning Prohibition movement as it made its way through the American South. The scene depicts a determined group of men and women, all dressed in blue, marching through the streets of Georgia, carrying banners that read "The Lips That Touch Corn Likker Shall Never Touch Ourn," "WCTU" (Women's Christian Temperance Union), and "Carrie Nation Cadets." Carrie Nation, a prominent figure in the Prohibition movement, is famously known for her "hatchetations," where she would lead raids on saloons and destroy alcoholic beverages with a hatchet. Here, she is represented by the cadets who follow her, their faces set in determined resolve. One man in the procession carries a small barrel labeled "Vegetable Tonic," while a large wagon labeled "Water Wagon No. 1" follows closely behind the leaders. This symbolizes the group's commitment to providing an alternative to alcohol, offering water instead. The illustration's vibrant blue color palette adds to the sense of unity and purpose among the marchers, as they make their way through Georgia, spreading the message of Prohibition and challenging the status quo. This powerful image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Prohibition movement and the indomitable spirit of those who fought for it.
