EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in Dutch history, showcasing a group of young boys experiencing the consequences of indulging in their fathers' pipes. Dressed in traditional Dutch attire, complete with long, wide-legged pants, voluminous shirts, and clogs, the boys appear to be staggering and swaying, suggesting they have imbibed more than just the smoke from the pipes. The image, taken in the 1910s, serves as a reminder of the perils of smoking, even in a time when the practice was more commonplace and less understood. The boys' fur hats, with their long, narrow stems, rest atop their heads, adding to the overall sense of nostalgia and tradition. The scene is both charming and cautionary, offering a glimpse into the past while also highlighting the potential hazards of tobacco use.
