EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Antis snuff-takers" takes us back to the 19th century when snuff-taking was a popular pastime. The image showcases a group of individuals indulging in this peculiar habit, providing a fascinating glimpse into the customs and culture of that era. The composition is rich with intricate details, allowing us to observe each character's unique expression and posture. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, while their gestures suggest both enjoyment and camaraderie. It is evident that snuff-taking was not merely an individual act but rather a social activity shared among friends or acquaintances. This print is part of Edwin Hopper's renowned work, "The World its Cities and Peoples". As an illustration for this comprehensive book published by Cassell in approximately 1890, it aimed to provide readers with insights into different cultures across the globe. Through images like these, Hopper sought to capture the essence of various societies through their distinctive practices and traditions. Preserved in private collection today, this engraving offers us a window into history—a moment frozen in time where we can explore how people from another era found pleasure in seemingly mundane activities such as taking snuff. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we are able to appreciate this remarkable artwork and delve deeper into our collective human experience throughout centuries gone by.
