EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "She Lights Him," is a stunning example of the artistic and theatrical flair of the late 19th century. The image, taken in 1899, depicts a man in a top hat gracefully accepting a lit cigarette from his elegant female companion. The couple is enveloped by an intricate and enchanting motif of serpents, clutched by the heads of winged devils or satyrs. The historical context of this photograph is rich with meaning, as the use of tobacco was a popular pastime during this era, and the addition of the serpent motif adds an air of mystery and allure. The man, dressed in formal attire, exudes an air of sophistication and confidence as he accepts the lit cigarette from his companion. Her graceful and delicate hand, adorned with a long, elegant glove, cradles the cigarette as she lights it for him. The serpent motif that surrounds them adds an element of danger and excitement to the scene, as if to suggest that the act of smoking is a seductive and even slightly dangerous indulgence. The winged devils or satyrs heads that clutch the serpents add an otherworldly and fantastical element to the image, further emphasizing the romantic and theatrical nature of the scene. The use of these mythological creatures also speaks to the fascination with the supernatural and the occult that was popular during this time period. Overall, "She Lights Him" is a beautiful and intriguing photograph that captures the essence of the late 19th century, with its blend of elegance, mystery, and theatricality. The use of the serpent motif and the winged devils or satyrs heads adds an element of intrigue and allure, making this image a true work of art that continues to captivate viewers to this day.
