This is a large art piece shaped like a giant alcohol bottle, made out of used alcohol bottles. Its official name is “Monument To Departed Spirits”. The departed spirits, being, of course, the liquor departing from their containers. I love puns.
This photo was taken sometime between 1850 and 1920, on Ridge Hill farm in Wellesley, Massachusetts.
