The Blue Laws of Connecticut

It's not easy to see who took this picture, since the book it was published in – John Fiske, The Beginings of New England or the Puritan Theocracy in its Relations to Civil and Religious Liberty (1889, 1898 edition) facing page 146 – had obviously "borrowed" it from someone else who had published it earlier. Either way, the 1898 publication date is now well past 100 years, and no-one seems to have seriously taken up this subject for over 80 years. These "Blue Laws of Connecticut", themselves, however, are public domain and were initially published by the Colony of New Haven in 1656 with the intended purpose for all persons to see and freely reference to.
