Absinthe Ampoule Bottle Engravings Orientalism Romantic Romanticism Shotgun Trumpet Masculine Persons Tarboosh Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases an advertisement sign for the absinthe brand "Mugnier," dating back to 1895. The romantic scene unfolds as a suave, mustachioed man, dressed in a fez and tarboosh, holds a shotgun in one hand and a trumpet in the other. The masculine allure of the image is heightened by the presence of two men in the background, each with a bottle of Mugnier absinthe in hand, raising their glasses in a toast. The vibrant colors of the engraving transport us back in time, with the rich hues of the man's clothing and the intricate details of the sign itself. The vertical orientation of the image adds to the sense of height and grandeur, further emphasizing the importance of the absinthe being advertised. The use of orientalist imagery, with the man wearing a fez and tarboosh, adds an exotic and alluring touch to the advertisement. The presence of an ampoule, or absinthe bottle, at the bottom of the sign further cements the connection between the brand and the intoxicating elixir. The intricacy of the engraving is evident in the details of the sign itself, with its ornate design and delicate lines. The people in the image are rendered with a high level of detail, making it easy to imagine the scene coming to life. Overall, this engraving is a stunning example of the romanticism and masculine appeal that were often associated with absinthe advertising during the late 19th century.
