EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The puffed-up smoker - le fumeur suffisant, un jeune garcon crane en fumant la pipe" we are transported back to the late 19th century. The image is an extract from the book "Afternoon Tea: Rhymes for children" by Frederick Warne & Co, a renowned publisher in London. The photograph showcases a young boy proudly puffing on his pipe, exuding an air of self-importance and confidence beyond his years. His posture is upright, and his gaze is fixed straight ahead as he indulges in this adult pastime. The intricate details captured by John George Sowerby and Henry Hetherington Emmerson's original illustrations bring life to the scene. This vintage piece serves as a reminder of how societal norms have evolved over time. Smoking was once seen as sophisticated and even fashionable among adults, but it is now widely recognized as detrimental to health. This contrast adds depth to the image, making it not only aesthetically pleasing but also thought-provoking. Jean Duvallon's expert photography skills beautifully capture every nuance of this historical artwork. Through this photo print, viewers can appreciate both the artistic talent behind the original illustration and reflect upon the changing attitudes towards smoking throughout history. Overall, "The puffed-up smoker" offers us a glimpse into a different era while inviting contemplation on society's shifting perspectives over time.
