Absinthe Prohibition in Switzerland 1910
by Gantner
1910
The famous 1910 "Messieurs...c'est l'heure" anti-prohibition poster by Gantner, lamenting the final banning
of absinthe in Switzerland in 1910. It was originally published in the Swiss satirical revue, edited by Louis Bron,
"Le Guguss". It shows a triumphant prohibitionist, dressed as a priest, trampling on the murdered figure of the Green Fairy, while in the background Helvetica mourns her lost liberties.
