VINTAGE 1923 PUNCH CARTOON - PRESIDENT WARREN G. HARDING - ALCOHOL PROHIBITION

Description: It is hard to escape the legacy of the Punch Magazine. From 1841 to 2002, the magazine cast a satirical eye on life in Britain. It charted the interests, concerns and frustrations of the country and today it stands as an invaluable resource not just as cartoon art and satire, but as primary source material for social historians.Illustration by L. Raven-hillAUTHORITY BEGINS AT HOME Europa. “I have called for a friendly talk about prohibition within the three-mile limit.” President Harding. “Nothing doing, Madam. Ion no circumstances can I alter my present attitude.” The Goat. “I wonder.” [On June 10 the new law prohibiting ships from carrying liquor within the three-mile limit came into operation. About the same time the New York State Legislature repealed its Prohibition Enforcement Act.]o relates to a proposed law limiting ships that carry alcohol from coming within three miles of U.S. shore (note the ship in the distance]--The goat symbolizes the New York Legislature repeal, subverting Harding, hence the ironic title "Authority Begins at Home."The page size is 8 x 10 1/2 including borders, image shown slightly cropped.
