Smoking Etiquette, 1883 - A Glimpse into Victorian Social Customs
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Smoking Etiquette, 1883" takes us back to the refined world of Victorian England. Created by the talented artist George du Maurier for Punch magazine, this cartoon provides a humorous commentary on the social norms of the time. The scene depicts a post-dinner gathering where ladies gracefully withdraw from the room after their meal, leaving behind a group of gentlemen indulging in port and cigars. The intricate details captured in this engraving transport us to an era when smoking was not only considered fashionable but also served as a symbol of masculinity and camaraderie among men. Du Maurier's keen eye for detail is evident in every stroke of his pen, capturing both the elegance of the women's attire and the relaxed demeanor of the gentlemen. This artwork offers us a glimpse into an age when etiquette dictated that certain activities were reserved exclusively for one gender or another. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded that societal customs have evolved over time. It serves as a testament to how far we have come in terms of gender equality and changing perceptions surrounding tobacco use. "Smoking Etiquette, 1883" stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact—a window into an era long gone but forever preserved through art.
