EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the colorful history of Colorado Springs in 1877, where residents found creative ways to circumnavigate liquor laws. In this illustration from Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, we see a group of drinkers engaging in a "game of chance" to obtain their beloved beer. The man on the right is shown placing a coin into the slot of a Wheel of Fortune, which always rewards him with a glass of beer.
The image transports us back to a time when regulations were skirted and indulgence was sought after through clever means. The worn-down setting and aged appearance add to the authenticity and charm of this historical moment frozen in time.
Through intricate details and expert engraving, this artwork by © Ken Welsh brings to life an era filled with rebellion against restrictive laws and showcases the ingenuity and determination of those seeking enjoyment despite obstacles. It serves as both a visual delight and an educational glimpse into the past, reminding us that human nature will always find ways to navigate challenges in pursuit of pleasure.
