PROHIBITION BOOTLEGGERS MAP of the U. S. 1926 Poster
From 1926, at the height of prohibition and the roaring twenties a BOOTLEGGERS MAP of the U. S.
This unique map spoofing prohibition, by Edward McCandlish is filled with puns; nothing is sacred in this hilarious look at alcohol and prohibition.
Many place names are plays on words, like Chi-keg-o, Tus-Keg-ee, Mash-ville, Albu-Corky, Scotch Bluff, Booze (Boise), etc. The pints of the compass are Norse, Wets, Yeast, and Souse.
McCandlish was a prominent illustrator for the children's page in many newspapers in the 1920's and 1930's, making this parody a radical departure for him.
A wonderful piece of Americana that beautifully captures the humour and mood of the public during that epic dry era.

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame.
This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again.
One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up.
Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font.
Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
