EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures a peculiar scene from the early 20th century. In this color lithograph, created by an anonymous French artist, we witness one drunkard indulging in alcohol through an unconventional method. With a straw firmly placed into another drunk's red nose, the absurdity of their actions is both fascinating and revolting. The postcard format adds to the peculiarity of this image, making it all the more intriguing. The composition draws attention to every detail - from the odd choice of using a nose as a drinking vessel to the intricate depiction of hairs on each character's face. This satirical portrayal serves as a commentary on alcoholism and its consequences. As we delve into this artwork, we are confronted with themes of excess and addiction that were prevalent during that era. The strange act depicted here challenges societal norms surrounding drinking habits and exposes the darker side of intoxication. Through skillful use of color and attention to detail, this piece invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with alcohol while simultaneously captivating us with its bizarre subject matter. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of revelry and drunkenness, there can be elements that are both humorous and unsettling. This thought-provoking image has been preserved within a private collection but continues to captivate viewers today with its unique blend of satire, strangeness, and social commentary.
