Framed color photograph depicting liquor industry executive Michel Roux seated with actor and filmmaker Clint Eastwood. Professionally matted under glass in a decorative wood frame. From the personal collection of Michel Roux.<br> <br> This item is pre-owned and previously displayed, with wear, small chips in the wood, and surface markings. Please refer to all photos for full condition details.<br> <br> Measurements: 22" x 18" x 3/4". Weight: 4.4 lbs.<br> <br> This item is originally from the collection of liquor icon Michel Roux. One of Mr. Roux’s signature spirits at Crillon was absinthe, the anise-flavored spirit known for its popularity among 19th-century artists like van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec. It was banned by the United States in 1912 amid concerns that wormwood, one if its ingredients, which contained thujone, caused hallucinations. In 2000 Mr. Roux introduced a legal absinthe, Absente, which used a sister botanical, Southern wormwood, with only trace amounts of thujone.
