EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "So Drink, You'll See Later" showcases a mesmerizing poster advertising Parisian Absinthe from the 19th century. The vibrant colours and intricate details of this colour lithograph by Gelis-Didot and Maltese truly bring the artwork to life. In the foreground, an old man is depicted holding a glass of absinthe, his eyes filled with anticipation as he prepares to indulge in this renowned beverage. The artist skillfully captures the allure and mystique surrounding absinthe, known for its hallucinogenic properties. Beside him stands a young woman, her expression reflecting both curiosity and excitement as she contemplates joining him in this sensory experience. Their presence symbolizes the timeless appeal of absinthe - transcending generations and inviting individuals from all walks of life to partake in its intoxicating effects. The poster itself serves as an advertisement for this beloved drink, enticing viewers with its bold typography that reads "So Drink". It cleverly plays on words, hinting at the transformative nature of absinthe consumption - promising a journey into another realm once imbibed. This remarkable piece from Barbara Singer's private collection offers us a glimpse into Parisienne culture during a time when absinthe was celebrated as more than just an alcoholic beverage; it was regarded as an elixir capable of unlocking hidden realms within our minds.
