Absinthe House - A Historic Haven of Pirates, Painters, and Prohibition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the Absinthe House, a legendary establishment nestled in the heart of New Orleans, Louisiana. With its rich history dating back to 1807, this iconic building served as the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte's headquarters during his swashbuckling days. The echoes of his daring escapades still linger within these walls. But it wasn't just pirates who sought refuge here; acclaimed painter Edgar Degas himself frequented this esteemed haunt. Known for his masterpieces capturing scenes from everyday life, Degas found inspiration amidst the lively atmosphere and creative energy that permeated every corner of the Absinthe House. Sadly, like many establishments across America at that time, the Absinthe House fell victim to the Volstead Act of 1920 - also known as Prohibition. Its doors were forcibly closed as alcohol became illegal nationwide. However, even in its closure, this architectural gem remained an enduring symbol of resilience and defiance against societal norms. As we gaze upon this archival photograph captured between 1910-1919 by General Photographic Agency/Getty Images, we are transported to a bygone era where artistry mingled with rebellion. The absence of people allows us to focus on the intricate details adorning its facade – a testament to both its historical significance and architectural beauty. Let this image serve as a reminder that within these walls lie
