DescriptionMasked criminal at the grave of John Barleycorn cph.3b52743.jpg |
English: "Masked criminal at the grave of John Barleycorn". Published as an illustration for Walt Mason's satirical poem "So Runs the World Away", in Judge, October 29, 1921.
Commenting on the irony of prohibition, Mason contended that although John Barleycorn (an old English name for liquor) was presumed to be the cause of all crime, it wasn't until liquor was outlawed that crime became rampant. Holding a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, the criminal shoots at a fleeing pilgrim. He stands next to Barleycorn's tombstone embellished with skull and cross bones. |
