Absinthe House Entrance, New Orleans, between 1920 and 1926: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph captures the entrance of the Absinthe House in New Orleans, Louisiana, between 1920 and 1926. Taken by the renowned 20th-century photographer Arnold Genthe, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of this historic building. The Absinthe House, a legendary establishment in the vibrant city of New Orleans, was known for its association with the infamous green liquor, absinthe. The drink, popular in Europe and the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was believed to have hallucinogenic properties and was associated with bohemian artists and writers. The image shows the entrance of the Absinthe House, with its ornate doors and intricate woodwork. The doors, adorned with elaborate carvings and ironwork, are open, inviting visitors to step inside. The building's facade, with its tall, arched windows and ornate details, is a testament to the architectural heritage of New Orleans. The photograph is part of the vast collection of nitrate negatives at the Library of Congress. It is a reminder of a bygone era, a time when the Absinthe House was a popular destination for those seeking an intoxicating experience. The image, with its timeless quality, transports us back to the 1920s, a decade marked by jazz music, flapper fashion, and the Roaring Twenties culture. This photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe, is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of New Orleans and the United States.
