EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Repeal of Prohibition in 1933. The image showcases an exhausted American barman amidst a sea of empty bottles, after the celebration of the laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol came to an end. The weariness on his face is palpable, as he leans against a wooden barrel with brooms scattered around him. His eyes are closed, and it seems that sleepiness has finally caught up with him. This single young man embodies the exhaustion felt by many during this period. The photograph not only documents a specific event but also reflects broader themes such as tiredness, humor, and American culture at that time. It provides a glimpse into the past and offers insight into how people coped with challenging circumstances. Through its vertical composition and use of black-and-white tones, this image evokes nostalgia for early twentieth-century America. It serves as a reminder of an era marked by strict regulations and societal changes. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical moment through their collection, allowing viewers to appreciate both the artistic value and historical significance captured within this remarkable photograph from 1933.
