I don't drink, but I've had this poster in my dining room for years. There's a ton of French art celebrating absinthe from the turn of the 19th century.
(And I don't think you light the sugar cube to prepare the cocktail, it's my understanding that you hold the cube over the glass with a spoon and pour water on it, thus dissolving it into the drink.. ???)
Edit! Turn of the 20th century! Late 1800's early 1900's!
