He who drank will drink
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant Belgian proverb captured in this vintage photograph from the early 1900s. The image, dated circa 1908, features an old man, deeply engrossed in a game of Richelieu or Belote, a popular Belgian card game, with a glass of minted liquor, or menthe, in front of him. The proverb, spoken in Dutch as "Hij die drinkt, zal drinken," is a reminder of the addictive nature of alcohol and the consequences that come with it. The man in the photograph, with his furrowed brow and focused expression, seems lost in the moment, oblivious to the world around him. His glass, nearly empty, sits on the table, a testament to his prolonged drinking. The bottle of menthe, with its distinctive green label, is within reach, suggesting that this is not his first drink of the day. The photograph, taken in Belgium during the 1900s or 1910s, is a snapshot of a bygone era. The man's attire, with his high collar shirt and suspenders, is typical of the time, adding to the nostalgic feel of the image. The use of natural light and the simple, uncluttered background further emphasizes the man's isolation and the solitude of his drinking moment. The proverb "He who drank will drink" is a reminder of the cyclical nature of addiction and the power of habit. The photograph, with its poignant subject matter and historical context, offers a glimpse into the past and the human condition. It is a powerful reminder of the consequences of our choices and the importance of moderation.
