The Dear Dead Days When a Girl Drank Beer and Liked It
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration by John Held, Jr, dating back to 1925. This whimsical artwork takes us on a journey to the roaring twenties, an era known for its lively entertainment and rebellious spirit. In this scene, we find ourselves in an American park where a young couple sits at a table outside of a charming bar. The image captures the essence of early twentieth-century daily life with its vibrant depiction of men and women enjoying themselves amidst the backdrop of prohibition. The woman in focus is seen sipping beer with delight, challenging societal norms that frowned upon female indulgence in alcohol during this time. Held's cartoon-like style adds an element of playfulness to the scene as he skillfully portrays the jovial atmosphere prevalent during those dear dead days. The artist's attention to detail brings out the joyous expressions on everyone's faces as they revel in their forbidden pleasure. This vintage print from The Granger Collection offers us a glimpse into America's past when people sought solace and amusement despite restrictions imposed by society. It serves as both a reminder of our history and an invitation to appreciate how far we have come since then.
