PROHIBITION, 1922 - A Nose for Liquor
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph taken during the Prohibition era in Washington D. C. , we are transported back to a time of strict liquor regulations and clandestine activities. The image captures a pivotal moment as a trained dog, with its keen sense of smell, sniffs at a flask concealed in the back pocket of a man fishing on a pier along the picturesque Potomac River. The scene exudes an air of secrecy and rebellion against the controversial ban on alcohol. The fisherman, donning his hat and puffing on his pipe nonchalantly, appears unaware that he is being closely monitored by law enforcement. As moonlight casts an ethereal glow over the river's surface, it seems as though even nature itself holds its breath in anticipation. This photograph serves as both documentation and testament to the lengths people went to indulge their thirst for forbidden spirits during this tumultuous period. It encapsulates not only the determination of those seeking ways around prohibition but also highlights how animals were enlisted in these efforts. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this remarkable piece from history—a snapshot frozen in time—allowing us to reflect upon an era defined by resistance and innovation. Let us remember those who defied convention while exploring our nation's complex relationship with alcohol through this intriguing visual narrative captured by Granger Collection photographers.
