EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Decadence of the intake and size of the cigar" by Maubert, a French artist from the 19th century, offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the diverse ways in which people indulge in tobacco. The intricate illustration showcases individuals engaging with tobacco, whether it be through smoking or even using it to create snow-like effects. The image invites viewers to contemplate the various roles that tobacco plays in different lives and social contexts. It highlights both laborers who rely on cigars as part of their trade and those who enjoy them for leisurely purposes. Through this artwork, Maubert skillfully captures not only the physical act of smoking but also conveys a deeper message about societal attitudes towards indulgence and pleasure. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, allowing us to appreciate every stroke and line that brings each figure to life. As we observe these characters immersed in their individual experiences with tobacco, we are reminded of its significance throughout history. Displayed within a private collection today, this enchanting piece serves as an enduring testament to Maubert's artistic talent and his ability to capture complex themes within a single image. It prompts us to reflect on our own relationship with indulgence while appreciating the beauty found within this historical work of art.
