EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Notice to smokers and chewers" takes us back in time to the mid-19th century in New York City. Created by Nathaniel Currier, a renowned American lithographer of that era, this print measures 29x41 cm and is now part of the collection at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. The image depicts a scene filled with intricate details that transport us into a bustling city street. In front of a tobacco shop's large windows, we see men gathered around an eye-catching notice board adorned with various warnings related to smoking and chewing tobacco. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures the expressions on each individual's face - some intrigued by the notices while others seem indifferent or lost in thought. Currier masterfully portrays life during this period through his use of light and shadow, creating depth within the composition. The smoke emanating from pipes adds an ethereal quality to the scene while also reminding viewers of the prevalent habit among men during that time. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, it serves as a reminder of how societal norms have evolved over time. It offers us insight into daily life in 19th-century America when smoking was not only commonplace but also subject to public scrutiny due to its potential health hazards. Overall, this lithograph provides both artistic beauty and cultural significance for those interested in exploring America's past through visual storytelling.
