EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene straight out of the Victorian era, showcasing a group of distinguished gentlemen indulging in the timeless ritual of smoking cigars. The men are depicted in a relaxed and languid manner, exuding an air of sophistication and refinement as they enjoy their tobacco by the warm glow of the fire.
The room in which they are seated is rich with historical charm, transporting viewers back to 1886 when this image was captured. The ornate furnishings and decor serve as a backdrop for this gathering of well-dressed individuals engaged in leisurely conversation over their smoldering cigars.
Each gentleman's posture and expression convey a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect, reflecting the social norms and customs prevalent during that period. Despite being engaged in an activity now considered controversial due to health risks associated with smoking, these men appear completely at ease, savoring every puff with evident pleasure.
This print serves as a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era when cigar smoking was not only socially acceptable but also symbolized status and sophistication among the elite. It is a reminder of how cultural practices evolve over time while leaving behind traces of history that continue to captivate us today.
