The print captures a significant moment in history as Mr J W Glenister, the renowned anti-Prohibition campaigner, visits England before embarking on his great mission. The image showcases Mr Glenister's determination to challenge the controversial figure of Pussyfoot Johnson and his Prohibition movement in the United States. In this snapshot from 22 August 1922, we witness Mr Glenister thoroughly investigating our national "beverage system". With an air of seriousness and purpose, he engages with a waiter while holding a drink in hand. This photograph symbolizes his unwavering commitment to understanding the intricacies of alcohol consumption and its impact on society. As one delves into this monochrome masterpiece by Central News, it becomes evident that Mr J W Glenister's visit to London was not merely for publicity but rather an opportunity to shed light on the flaws within Prohibition. His presence signifies a turning point in history as he prepares to launch an influential anti-Prohibition campaign upon returning home. This Europeana photography encapsulates both the spirit of activism and intellectual curiosity that defined early 20th-century movements against Prohibition.
