L'Album d'estampes originales de la Galerie Vollard: Morphine Addict, 1897. Eugène Grasset (French, 1841-1917), printed by Auguste Clot (French, 1858-1936), published by Ambroise Vollard (French, 1867-1939). Color lithograph; image: x cm (16 1/4 x 12 5/16 in.); sheet: x cm (22 5/16 x 16 3/4 in.). Eugène Grasset was best known for idealized and decorative images of women. This lithograph, however, focuses on a darker theme—morphine addiction. A young woman is shown at the height of withdrawal as she injects herself with the drug. The syringe was invented just a few decades

The syringe was invented just a few decades prior, and its inclusion was meant to give the image a sense of modernity.
