EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the interior of a Tobacconist shop in Paris, dated 1861. The scene transports us back in time to the 1860s, an era of opulence and innovation during the Victorian era. The Tobacconist, with his well-groomed mustache and formal attire, attends to his customers with utmost care and attention. The shop is filled with an array of tobacco products, from intricately designed pipes to neatly stacked packets of cigars. The most striking feature of this establishment is the provision of the latest gas-powered cigar-lighting apparatus by Duchamp & Trouillets. The apparatus, mounted on the wall, is a marvel of 19th-century technology, emitting a soft, steady flame that illuminates the faces of the patrons as they enjoy their tobacco. The sleek design and elegant craftsmanship of the apparatus add to the allure of the shop. The Tobacconist shop was an essential part of Parisian society during this period. It was a gathering place for men, a sanctuary where they could socialize, indulge in their favorite tobacco products, and engage in lively conversations. The shop's ambiance, filled with the rich aroma of tobacco and the soft hum of conversation, was a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the daily life of Parisians during the 1860s. The Tobacconist shop, with its warm and inviting atmosphere, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of tobacco and the social connections it fosters.
