The Green Hour
Absinthe — the hero collection. Every mark here is dead.
Privat-Livemont's Absinthe Robette leads: the most beautiful poster the green fairy ever got. Switzerland banned absinthe in 1910, France in 1915, the U.S. in 1912 — within twenty years the bans erased the category and every mark that sold it. What survives, survives only as art.
