SEE PHOTO(s) - Two (2) COMPLETE ORIGINAL NEWSPAPERs, the
New York Morning Telegraph
dated June 28 and 30, 1926. These 2 original newspapers contain headlines and coverage of the enhanced ENFORCEMENT of PROHIBITION at SPEAKEASIES in NEW YORK CITY.
The
Morning Telegraph
is a full size newspaper that focused on sensationalism
- scandals, sex, crime, and sports (especially horse racing). In many ways its coverage and headlines are similar in content to the
National Police Gazette
of the 19th Century or the
National Inquirer
of the 20th Century.
A speakeasy, also called a blind pig or blind tiger, is an illicit establishment that sells alcoholic beverages. Such establishments came into prominence in the United States during the Prohibition era (1920–1933, longer in some states). During that time, the sale, manufacture, and transportation (bootlegging) of alcoholic beverages was illegal throughout the United States. Speakeasies largely disappeared after Prohibition ended in 1933, and the term is now often used to describe retro style bars.
