The Keg is Tapped and the Liquor Flows - A Nostalgic Journey into 19th Century America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, titled "The Keg is Tapped and the Liquor Flows" takes us back to a bygone era in American history. The scene depicts an illustration from Washington Irving's renowned tale, Rip Van Winkle, capturing the essence of adventure and mystery that permeated the Catskill Mountains during this time. Intriguingly, we find ourselves immersed in a world where ghosts roam freely amidst towering mountains and dense forests. The central focus of the image is an old wooden barrel, tapped open to reveal its intoxicating contents. As if drawn by its allure, mischievous cats playfully surround it while a tankard awaits to be filled with the golden liquid. This artwork not only transports us visually but also evokes emotions tied to literature and nostalgia. It serves as a reminder of how alcohol played a significant role in American culture during the 19th century - symbolizing camaraderie, celebration, and even escape from reality. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our connection to America's past; it represents more than just drinking or merriment but also reflects on societal values at that time. It invites us to reflect on how literature has shaped our understanding of history and continues to influence our present-day perspectives. "The Keg is Tapped and the Liquor Flows" captures both the spirit
