EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Group of men drinking and smoking, seated on bench and barrel" transports us back to the 17th century. In this rustic scene, a group of peasant men gather together in camaraderie, indulging in their vices with tankards of drink and tobacco pipes. The artist, David Deuchar, skillfully captures the essence of this social gathering through intricate copperplate engravings. As we observe the image closely, we notice the attention to detail that Deuchar has given to each man's attire. They wear daggers and purses from their belts, reflecting both practicality and style. This depiction provides insight into the fashion trends prevalent during that era. The setting itself adds an element of charm to the composition. The men are seated on a simple wooden bench placed next to a barrel—a humble yet inviting arrangement for their gathering. Surrounding them is a lush garden backdrop filled with vibrant flora—a testament to nature's beauty even amidst human revelry. This print not only offers us a glimpse into historical customs but also invites contemplation about society's relationship with alcohol and tobacco throughout time. It serves as a reminder that these activities have long been intertwined with socialization and leisure. Through its rich details and evocative atmosphere, this engraving by David Deuchar transports us back centuries ago—allowing us to witness firsthand an intimate moment shared among friends in simpler times.
