EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a moment in history circa 1935, featuring a male butler elegantly holding a tray with a packet of cigarettes. The image exudes an air of sophistication and luxury, showcasing the role of servants and butlers during that era.
The butler's impeccable attire and poised demeanor reflect the high standards expected of household staff in the early 20th century. His gesture of presenting the packet of cigarettes on a silver tray highlights the attention to detail and level of service provided by such individuals.
Intriguingly, this snapshot offers a glimpse into a bygone era when smoking was not only socially acceptable but also considered fashionable. The presence of cigarettes on the tray adds an element of nostalgia, reminding us of different societal norms and practices prevalent at that time.
Overall, this print is not just a visual representation but also serves as a historical document capturing aspects of daily life from decades past. It invites viewers to ponder upon themes such as class distinctions, domestic service, and changing attitudes towards smoking over time.
Mary Evans Prints Online has truly preserved an evocative piece that transports us back to an era where elegance and formality reigned supreme.
