EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the late 19th century captures a fascinating moment in time. Entitled "A chatelain (Ducos) and his coachman sitting on the terrace of a cafe and drinking absinthe" it offers a glimpse into the lives of two individuals from different social backgrounds, brought together by their shared enjoyment of this notorious alcoholic beverage. The image portrays an aristocratic gentleman, referred to as the chatelain Ducos, seated alongside his loyal coachman on the terrace of a quaint café. Both men are engrossed in conversation while savoring glasses of absinthe, known for its vibrant green hue and potent effects. The scene exudes an air of relaxation and camaraderie as they indulge in this popular drink that was once considered scandalous due to its association with bohemian culture. French photographer Leonard de Selva skillfully captures every detail, allowing us to appreciate not only the subjects' elegant attire but also their contrasting positions within society. This photograph serves as a testament to how moments like these can bridge societal gaps, bringing people together regardless of class or occupation. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable piece provides us with an intriguing window into French history during the Belle Époque era. It reminds us that even amidst societal divisions, shared experiences such as enjoying absinthe on a sunny café terrace have always had the power to unite individuals across boundaries.
