Temperance & Enforcement · 1873–1933 · United States
The Dry Years
The counter-collection — the Green Hour's mirror image.
WCTU and Anti-Saloon League material, and enforcement-era government work (basis PD-USGov where applicable) — the case FOR the bans that built every other room in this house. Repeal iconography (1933) is on the watch list: it unlocks January 2029 under the same 95-year wall as everything else here, and cannot publish early.
Moonshine, being illicit, left no advertising — its presence here is the Dry Years' shadow, not its subject. Revenue-stamp and still imagery may join this collection via the registry's research lane as it is confirmed.
