Happy National Bootlegger’s Day !! During the 1800s, the term bootlegger came into use in the Midwest. The word described the act of concealing flasks of ...liquor in a boot top when going to trade with Native Americans. The term found its permanent place in the American vocabulary when Congress passed the Eighteenth Amendment prohibiting the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol in 1920. #printsoldandrare #antiqueprints #bootlegger #bootleggersday #moonshiners #prohibition #whiskey #kentucky #history

Nella descrizione di alcune legature tardo medievali si legge spesso: ... in pelle su assicelle di legno e dorso a x nervi .... Nella immagine sono ben visibi...li le assicelle di legno (quercia) perché manca tutta la pelle che le ricopriva. E si vedono bene anche i grossi nervi, cioè le 4 corde orizzontali sul dorso. La legatura fu realizzata nella contea di Worcestershire, in Inghilterra, nel 1415 circa. Wellcome Library, Londra. See more
