The story behind the piece

On December 17, 1917, the House approved the 18th Amendment 282 to 128, just eight votes more than the two-thirds it needed. Democrats and Republicans split almost evenly, and the galleries erupted when the result was read.

The star of this page is the cartoon: a giant whiskey bottle spilling its contents over a crowd of families. It is one of the most striking pieces of dry-era art we have found.
