The artistry continues with chromolithos like "Putting Dinner in the Oven, " where a suave gentleman effortlessly balances culinary duties while clad in his elegant robe. In another scene titled "Lady Presenting New Shirt to Seated Gentleman, " we witness how this attire adds an air of refinement even during intimate moments. Currier & Ives' color litho from 1845 depicts a single figure indulging in contemplation while wearing their cherished smoking jacket – an emblematic image that epitomizes relaxation and leisure. Even Christmas cards embraced its allure; one such card features a charming scene where a smoking man pacifies babies with ease - showcasing both comfort and warmth during festive celebrations. J. F. Cheetham's portrait from c. 1880-90 immortalizes an individual who embodies sophistication through their choice of clothing - proudly sporting their beloved smoking jacket. From Charles Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby to August Strindberg's captivating black-and-white photograph, these influential figures recognized the power behind this sartorial statement piece.
