Description: Genuine AbsintheOnTheNet.com Poster 1. Gorgeous poster depicting the death of the Green Fairy - the symbol of Absinthe. The two main captions translated read "Gentleman, it is the Hour" and "The death of the Green Fairy - the end of Absinthe in Switzerland." It is a proclamation poster about the banning of absinthe in Switzerland on October 7, 1910. 2. Famous image by Gantner that laments the prohibition of absinthe in France in 1915. In the centre, trampling the mortally wounded Green Fairy, is Raymond Poincaré, the arch-prohibitionist President of the French Republic, while in the background French troops are shown engaged in the first terrible battles of the WW1. The white ribbon at the bottom “Les Habitués d’…” is left blank, to allow the name of the bar or café that originally purchased the poster to be added. There are only 4 known originals of this piece. 3. An anti-prohibition poster commemorating the vote of the French Chamber of Deputies on 12th February 1915 to ban the sale of absinthe in France. The French Green Fairy is being burnt at the stake in front of a crowd of weeping onlookers, while up above the Swiss Green Fairy, whose demise had already occured five years earlier, waits to welcome her sister to Fee Verte heaven.
