A vintage poster from a famous lithographic engraving by Loustaunau, showing a 'zouave' or French North African soldier relaxing over an Absinthe at a pavement cafe table on the Esplanade des Invalides. It was these Absinthe-loving soldiers who brought the taste for the anise-flavoured drink back with them to France in the mid 19th century. Original size: 40cm x 30cm. Buy this Absinthe Poster as an unframed print, a mounted box canvas print or a framed print.
