EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of camaraderie and relaxation among officers. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where smoking clay pipes and indulging in alcohol were common pastimes for men of authority. The left background reveals a curtained bed, adding an air of intimacy and secrecy to the setting. It serves as a reminder that even those entrusted with maintaining order have their private moments behind closed doors. This particular engraving entitled "Le Tabac" is attributed to Abraham Bosse, a renowned artist from the 17th century who skillfully captured everyday life through his work. It is believed to be based on Jean de Saint-Igny's original composition. The presence of tobacco pipes symbolizes not only leisure but also social status during this period. The officers depicted here seem at ease, enjoying each other's company while partaking in these pleasurable activities. As we gaze upon this intriguing print from Universal Images Group (UIG), it transports us into history itself – allowing us to observe the customs and habits that once defined society. Let us appreciate the artistry behind this engraving and reflect on how our own perceptions of leisure have evolved over time.
