This original linen-era postcard depicts a fascinating and humorous exhibit of a 'Typical Moonshine Still' located at the historic Old Jail in St. Augustine, Florida. The scene features a colorful illustrative style characteristic of the mid-20th century, showing the progression from 'Getting Drunk' to the 'Rock Pile' with figures in period attire, including a prisoner in stripes. The vibrant colors and textured linen finish are hallmarks of the Curteich-Chicago 'Art-Colortone' printing process, making this a classic piece of Florida roadside Americana. The back of the postcard is unposted and clean, featuring the distinctive Curt Teich production marks and the serial number 6C-H32, which dates the printing to 1946. As a piece of St. Augustine history, this card captures the quirky side of tourism in the nation's oldest city, focusing on the local lore of moonshining and the justice system of the era. It is an excellent addition for collectors of Florida memorabilia, prohibition-related history, or vintage Curt Teich linen postcards.
