EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from London in 1880, showing a group of men smoking a pipe and cigar amongst a bustling crowd on a railway platform. The image exudes an air of sophistication and camaraderie as the men engage in their shared pastime while waiting for their train.
The men are dressed in typical 19th-century attire, with top hats and long coats adding to the historical charm of the scene. Their relaxed posture suggests that smoking was not just a habit but also a social activity that brought people together.
The tobacco packets and boxes scattered around them serve as reminders of the prevalent smoking culture of the time, despite growing awareness of its dangers. The smoke rising from their pipes creates an atmospheric haze, adding to the nostalgic feel of the photograph.
As we gaze at this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back to an era when railways were at the forefront of transportation innovation and smoking was considered fashionable. This image is not just a visual record but also a window into the customs and habits of Victorian England, where even mundane activities like waiting for a train were imbued with style and tradition.
