A woman in Edwardian costume has collapsed drunkenly on the pavement, facing a jeering skull wearing a top hat.
'D'Absinthe' by Kees van Dongen, 1902. A cruel but no doubt accurate depiction of the effect the narcotic wormwood-derived liquor had on the working population of continental Europe. I suppose the London equivalent would have been gin.

Senate published a number of paperbacks in the mid 90s, they were cheap reprints of books originally printed in the early 1900s with a bias towards history. They were fascinating and I've just re-read this one, first published in 1910
