Cigar Games And Pastimes Smoking For Daytime

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-F-000011-0000" takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of a man lost in thought. The portrait showcases a gentleman sitting comfortably, his piercing gaze fixed upon something beyond the lens. In his hand rests a cigar, emanating an air of sophistication and leisure. The photograph was taken around 1860-1865, during a time when smoking was not only considered fashionable but also symbolized relaxation and indulgence. This scene offers us a glimpse into the pastimes enjoyed by men of that era – moments stolen away from their busy lives to savor the simple pleasure of tobacco. The subject's attire reflects the fashion trends prevalent during this period. His clothing exudes elegance with its tailored suit jacket and crisp shirt collar peeking out beneath it. Every detail is meticulously captured, showcasing both the craftsmanship of his garments and the photographer's keen eye for composition. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported to another time – where gentlemen engaged in games and pastimes amidst an atmosphere filled with camaraderie. Although we can only speculate about what thoughts occupied our protagonist's mind at that moment, one thing is certain: he embodies an aura of contemplation mixed with confidence. This remarkable photograph comes courtesy of Alinari (www. alinari. it), renowned for their expertise in preserving historical visual treasures like this one. Through their lens, they invite us to appreciate not just the artistry behind each shot but also gain insight into society's tastes and customs from days gone by.
