Said Prohibition Maine to Prohibition Georgia - Here's Looking at You
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous political cartoon by Puck, a renowned American graphic magazine published between 1871 and 1918. This particular cartoon, created during the era of Prohibition in the United States, depicts two caricatured figures representing the states of Maine and Georgia. The scene unfolds with Maine, shown on the left, proudly holding up a bottle labeled "Maine Lobster Juice," a clever play on words that references both the state's famous seafood and the fact that Maine was one of the first states to ratify the Eighteenth Amendment, which established Prohibition in 1919. Maine's smug expression and raised glass suggest a sense of satisfaction and superiority. On the right, Georgia stands with a bottle labeled "Georgia Peach Brandy," another local product. Her expression is one of disbelief and frustration as she looks at Maine's bottle with a scowl. Georgia, which ratified Prohibition much later than Maine, is depicted as being left behind in the process. The cartoon's title, "Said Prohibition Maine to Prohibition Georgia: Here's Looking at You," is a reference to the famous line from the movie "Casablanca," adding an extra layer of meaning to the image. This cartoon is a fascinating snapshot of the cultural and political climate during Prohibition, highlighting the varying attitudes and experiences of different states as they navigated the complex and often contentious issue of alcohol prohibition. The use of humor and visual storytelling makes this cartoon a valuable historical artifact and an engaging piece of American social history.
