1600 Bowl Cavalier Chew Spit Tobacco
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand takes us back in time to the early 17th century, providing a glimpse into the fascinating practice of tobacco chewing. The line engraving, created in 1864, depicts an English cavalier indulging in this peculiar habit around the year 1600. Intriguingly, this image showcases not only the fashion and style of that era but also sheds light on a cultural aspect that was prevalent during those times. With a bowl of tobacco by his side, the cavalier is seen deeply engrossed in chewing tobacco - a popular pastime among individuals at that period. The intricate details captured through this engraving allow us to appreciate how early settlers embraced new customs and experiences brought about by their encounters with different cultures. This particular image serves as a testament to England's engagement with tobacco during its initial introduction to European society. While it may seem unusual or even repulsive today, it is important to remember that historical artifacts like these offer valuable insights into our ancestors' lives and societal norms. They remind us of how far we have come as a civilization and provide an opportunity for reflection on our own habits and practices. Granger Collection has once again provided art enthusiasts with an extraordinary piece that sparks curiosity while preserving history for generations to come.
