1841 Cigar Drugs Escort Grandville Muff Pipe Smokers Tobacco Walks Shows
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1841 with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcasing a scene straight out of history. Titled "Grandville Smokers," the image depicts women elegantly puffing on pipes and cigars, a sight that was quite unconventional for the era. The women exude confidence and sophistication as they indulge in their tobacco habits, while their escort walks alongside them with his hands tucked into a muff.
The fashion of the time is on full display in this print, with the women adorned in intricate dresses and accessories that speak to the opulence of the period. The use of muffs as a fashionable accessory adds an extra layer of intrigue to the composition.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from another time, we are reminded of how societal norms and attitudes towards smoking have evolved over the years. What was once considered taboo or scandalous is now viewed through a different lens altogether.
This print serves as a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, where smoking was not just an act but also a statement of style and rebellion. It invites us to ponder on how our perceptions of certain behaviors have changed over time, making it both visually striking and thought-provoking.
