EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history where two young Victorian ladies are seen indulging in the taboo act of smoking cigars. The image, taken in the 19th century, provides a glimpse into a time when such behavior was considered scandalous and unconventional for women.
The two women exude an air of confidence and defiance as they puff on their cigars, challenging societal norms and expectations. Their elegant attire and refined demeanor juxtaposed with the act of smoking creates a striking visual contrast that is both intriguing and rebellious.
In the background, a small dog can be seen observing the scene with curiosity, adding an element of whimsy to the composition. The presence of the canine companion further emphasizes the carefree attitude of these daring ladies who are unapologetically embracing their vices.
As we reflect on this historical snapshot, we are reminded of how perceptions around gender roles and behaviors have evolved over time. This image serves as a reminder of the resilience and spirit of women who have always pushed boundaries and challenged conventions in pursuit of freedom and self-expression.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this piece of history through this remarkable photo print, allowing us to appreciate and contemplate the complexities surrounding gender, power dynamics, and social expectations during that era.
