A hand blown pint bottle with a deep punt
and a crudely applied neck seal, probably
dating from around 1880 - 1890.
L’Absinthe, by Edgar Degas.1876
Over: how to tell the age of a particular bottle.One of the most important clues to the age of a bottle is the style of the lip. In the picture over are shown a number of lip styles common during the last century. From this page
Ai. I like this, but the sources vary on date on when it was invented (1889 or 1868)...
Vin Mariani (French: Mariani's wine) was a tonic created circa 1863 by Angelo Mariani, a chemist who became intrigued with coca and its economic potential after reading Paolo Mantegazza’s paper on coca's effects.
French Tonic Wine Coca wine was a very popular tonic in the late nineteenth century. Its creators dropped hints of its aphrodisiacal properties with varying degrees of subtlety.
Cocaine co-administered with alcohol, however, yields a potent psychoactive metabolite, cocaethylene.
Cocaethylene is very rewarding agent in its own right. Cocaethylene is formed in the liver by the replacement of the methyl ester of cocaine by the ethyl ester. It blocks the dopamine transporter and induces euphoria. Hence coca wine drinkers are effectively consuming three reinforcing drugs rather than one.
even the pope drank it...
In the 1800's, Pope Leo XIII's image was found on posters endorsing Vin Mariani, a sparkling red wine made with cocaine. Particularly fond of the drink's effervescence, he honored the wine with a gold medal.
Bedroom/ workspace
Lots of little bowls and boxes, morter, leatherbinder
images from late in his career that might indicate how he would organize his workspace in 1884
Photo of Freud in his study in Vienna, 1937
The story goes that Freud's colleagues tried convincing him to leave Vienna due the escalating war in Europe.
A photographer offered to photograph Freud's office in Vienna and to set up his new office in London exactly as it was in Vienna. Freud agreed to flee Austria once he received assurances that every book, every figurine, every piece of furniture would be set up in exactly the same fashion.
and this video from the same period pans across his desk and walls
