Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draftsman, and illustrator. The period he created his art was known as the Belle Epoque and his focus was on the decadence in Parisian society. The Irish and American Bar was described as an English bar where truly hardened drinkers would silently sit lost in contemplation of the bottles. The barman Randolphe, was known as Ralph. A half-breed Chinese and American Indian born in San Francisco, he displayed Asiatic dexterity in mixing special cocktails. In the smoke and hubbub jockeys, trainers, grooms and horse dealers jostled with pompous coachmen whose employers would be dining at one of the smart restaurants nearby. Lautrec was frequently the last client to leave the bar when closing-time came.1895/France
