Absinthe, Insanity, Murder and Suicide, 1883

A large bottle labeled "Absinthe" leans to one side; Death sits on the bottle and pours alcohol into a goblet held by a man while dangling a spider over the man's head; acts of insanity, murder, and suicide resulting from alcoholism are depicted. Harper's Weekly, September 15, 1883. Absinthe is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic beverage. Absinthe has often been portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug. Spurred by the temperance movement and the winemakers' associations, absinthe was publicly associated with violent crimes and social disorder.
