About ALANDIA HEADING_TITLE

These evocative old Absinthe posters are all available for you to buy as superb quality prints. They reflect the fascinating history of the Absinthe drink and the artists that designed these beautiful posters. No other drink has the same romantic history - the French Impressionists....Toulouse Lautrec, Degas, Manet, Van Gogh....Paris in the Belle Epoque....the cafes of Montmartre....the muse of writers from Verlaine and Rimbaud to Joyce and Hemingway. Of course, there's a darker side to absinthe as well - no other drink has ever roused the same degree of passionate condemnation, and no other drink has ever been banned outright in the way absinthe was in the years leading up to 1915.

The height of the Absinthe boom in the late 19th century, coincided with the rise of the large lithographic advertising poster as a powerful commercial and artistic medium - pioneered by the work of Jules Chéret. Many of the greatest poster artists of the period - Cappiello, Privat-Livemont, Lefevre, Tamagno - created famous images to advertise the absinthe grand marques.

The images bring back to life Paris in the 1900's - the Belle Epoch - the bistro and café life, the Moulin Rouge and Montmartre; the art nouveau - impressionism, Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec, Monet, Manet, Picasso, Braque; the writers of the day - Verlaine, Rimbaud, Hemingway, Oscar Wilde; and the social issues of the day - French politics, movement, prohibition, alcoholism and anti-alcoholism, eugenics, drugs and drug-abuse. All are reflected in these images.

These digital images have been scanned from the original Absinthe posters in ultra high resolutions. We print at 1440 dots per inch to guarantee perfect reproduction.
