Prohibition in Palm Springs: Spiking the Barrel Cactus - Funny Vintage Black & White Photograph (Art Print)
This restored vintage black & white 1920s photograph captures a woman in Palm Springs during Prohibition pretending to spike a barrel cactus with a faucet to fill a cup with the outlawed alcohol. This funny Americana print adds character to any room and makes a great gift.
[Note: In reality, barrel cactus cannot be consumed. They are high in acids and alkaloids, making the plants unpleasant to taste and toxic - with the exception of one barrel cactus species (the fishhook), ingestion can cause illness and even temporary paralysis.]
This print is a restored reproduction of a vintage photograph printed on canvas or archival paper. Vintage photographs are, by their nature, imperfect & may contain defects inherent to their age or original photography method. In some images, you may notice a grain or a soft blur common in older photographs. Photo reproductions have been meticulously restored, professionally enlarged, and may be significantly enhanced. At our discretion, some imperfections on the print may remain untouched for authentic aesthetic purposes, and to reflects its original history.
* Watermark will not appear on the print you receive.
