1920 Rotogravure WWI American Officers Drinking Beer War Southern WAR1 XAU2 ControversyThis is an original 1920 World War I sepia rotogravure of American military officers pretending to drink beer. One officer who was a "dry" member and a Southern prohibitionist still agreed to pose for the "drinking shot" for the army photographer. Such images were meant to reinforce positive morale back home in America. This is a fantastic image! CONDITION This 91+ year old Item is rated Near Mint Very Fine+. Light aging throughout. Light wrinkling.
