Description

This striking 1914 document poster reproduces an official French Republic Prefecture of Police ordinance dated October 15, 1914, applying a ban on absinthe and similar beverages ('boissons similaires') during wartime. Printed in bold typographic hierarchy with the authority of the French state, it captures a pivotal moment in the history of the legendary spirit. On a wall, it reads as an authentic piece of social and legal history, pairing the gravitas of official typography with the romantic mystique of the absinthe era.
