A New Kind of Pond - Prohibition's Battle on the Docks
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history during the era of prohibition. The image transports us to Washington, where federal agents have just made a surprising discovery in smugglers' depots. In an effort to enforce the country's strict alcohol ban, these determined agents are seen destroying over 18,000 bottles of beer and liquor. The scene is filled with action as crates are tossed into the water, smashing against each other and creating a spectacle of destruction. The dock becomes a battleground between law enforcement and bootleggers, symbolizing the ongoing struggle between those who sought to profit from illegal alcohol trade and those tasked with enforcing prohibition laws. As we gaze at this chaotic scene, we can almost hear the crashing sound of glass meeting water. The contrast between the serene countryside surrounding this riverside location and the turbulent events unfolding before our eyes highlights society's battle against intoxication. Beltrame skillfully captures this historical moment through his intricate illustrations. His attention to detail brings life to every element – from federal agents pouring out drinks into the river to shattered bottles floating amidst green pastures. Through "A New Kind of Pond" we are reminded not only of America's fight against alcoholism but also its determination to uphold laws that shaped its social fabric during one of its most transformative periods.
