EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1932, we are transported back in time to witness a powerful statement against Prohibition. The scene unfolds with an air of impatience as a large group of men and women gather beneath the shade of a towering tree. With their period costumes and Western script text, they represent the ideas and frustrations of an era long gone. At the center of attention hangs an effigy symbolizing Prohibition, swaying gently from a branch like an umbrella caught in the wind. This clever caricature serves as both a visual protest and a reminder of the irritation felt by many during this controversial period in history. The elevated view allows us to fully appreciate the scale and impact of this gathering. It is clear that these individuals are united in their opposition to Prohibition, coming together to voice their dissent through illustration technique. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, it becomes evident that concepts such as freedom, choice, and personal liberty were at stake during those tumultuous times. Through artful expression captured on film, we are reminded not only of our past but also how far society has come since then
