Absinthe Postcards VII - L'Heure Verte
Postcards or photos showing "real-life" scenes of absinthe drinking are extremely rare. This 1893 postcard,
showing a group of country folk relaxing over their absinthes at the end of hard day's fishing, is the only known
contemporary photo of an absinthe fountain in use.
An Absinthe Terminus style
4-robinet  "Coq" fountain
stands on the small gueridon,
filling two absinthe glasses,
one of which has a spoon
balanced on the rim.
