Opium-Related Drawing

Do you happen to know of this drawing?
I once came upon an image in Google Images. It was a drawing of a man a bit in the style of Ralph Steadman. It was dated, but I don't remember the exact date; I think it was the late 1800s. There was a phrase written in French above the man; it said something about 'wings' and 'fear.' I found the drawing while looking up Chinese characters related to opium, though I don't remember the exact characters I used.

It does sound like it could be one of the illustrations in Cocteau's Opium: The Diary of His Cure.

Response by poster: Maybe, but the images I see are more patiently drawn than the drawing I'm thinking of.
