EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures a significant moment in history during the era of Prohibition in the United States. The photograph, titled "Liquor down the Drain," shows contraband liquor being poured down the drain in Zion City, Illinois in 1921.
During this time, temperance movements were gaining momentum across the country, leading to the nationwide ban on alcohol sales and consumption. In an effort to enforce this law, authorities conducted raids on establishments selling illegal liquor.
In this particular scene, we see barrels of confiscated alcohol being emptied into a sewer system as a symbolic gesture of defiance against those who sought to profit from breaking the law. The image serves as a stark reminder of the lengths that people went to in order to uphold their beliefs and values during this tumultuous period.
The print from Mary Evans Picture Library provides us with a glimpse into a chapter of American history that shaped our society's attitudes towards alcohol consumption for years to come. It is a poignant reminder of how laws can shape our behaviors and perceptions surrounding food and drink.
