EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century engraving by David Deuchar captures the essence of a quintessential Englishman indulging in the pleasure of smoking. The image depicts a man blowing out smoke after inhaling from his clay pipe, showcasing both his skill and enjoyment in this pastime. The scene exudes an air of sophistication and leisure, as the gentleman is portrayed with elegance and finesse. His facial expression suggests contentment, perhaps finding solace in the fragrant clouds that escape his mouth. Interestingly, the caption accompanying this print humorously compares the scent of the smoke to that of a sweet fart, adding a touch of whimsy to an otherwise refined depiction. Believed to be inspired by Robert Walton's "The Merry Conceited Five Senses" published in 1661, this artwork transports us back to a time when smoking was not only socially acceptable but also considered fashionable among gentlemen. With its intricate details and expertly executed copperplate engraving technique, Deuchar's work showcases his mastery as he pays homage to Dutch and Flemish art masters. This particular print is part of a larger collection curated by Florilegius. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured within an enchanting frame, we are reminded of England's rich cultural heritage and its enduring fascination with tobacco throughout history.
