	Les Buveurs shows Octavio Cortazzo's art at its best. Waistcoats and bottles are cast recklessly aside as more and more alcohol is imbibed. The expressions on all three characters' faces as they hail as passer-by are done with an obvious touch as mastery.

Cadart, Editeur-Imprimeur, 56, Boulevard Haussman, 56, 1880. However, the 1880 impression contained Cadart's address in the lower margin and the plate number "20" in the upper margin.
