- DETAILS
This postcard is a reproduction of a 19th-century advertisement for the absinthe brand Bourgeois Frères (Bourgeois Brothers). The image is one in a series of photos featuring a black cat drinking milk, which is a play on an absinthe louche. Absinthe, typically clear or a light greenish-yellow in color, becomes milky white once water is added and the anise in the absinthe reacts with the water. This process is called a louche, an old French term meaning cloudy or hazy.
- Includes set of 10 shrink-wrapped postcards.
- Image measures 4.5" (11.4 cm) x 5.75" (14.6 cm).
