Vintage Illustration of Rum Barrel Theft by Coastal Figure #188016 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white woodcut-style illustration features a shaggy, barefoot man in a spotted fur garment stuffing boots and garments into a wooden barrel marked “RUM.” In the background, a bearded sea deity wielding a trident emerges from turbulent waters, seemingly protesting the theft. The scene evokes themes of maritime folklore, temperance satire, and colonial-era caricature.

Used in articles about historical alcohol trade, nautical mythology, or vintage political cartoons; appeals to readers interested in antique illustrations, rum history, or 19th-century satire.
