NZ Alliance prohibition poster

NZ Alliance prohibition poster

This New Zealand Alliance for the Abolition of the Liquor Traffic poster from the 1920s urges voters to support the national prohibition of liquor. Although the twin 1919 referenda are often seen as the climax of the prohibition struggle in New Zealand, the issue remained hugely important into the 1920s. The prohibition cause fell only narrowly short of a majority in both 1922 and 1925.
