Vintage photos of pipe smokers
Straightgrain
I thought you'd enjoy seeing some vintage photos of pipe smokers I've
collected over the years. The first four are tintypes which were used
between 1856-1900, the image was produced on a thin metal plate. After
the tintypes is a large cabinet photo of a woman. The cabinet photo
was introduced in 1866 and was used until just after the turn of the
century. The cabinet photo is a paper photo mounted on heavy card
stock which is similar to the last photo which is called a CDV (short
for Carte de Visite). The CDV, which is smaller than a cabinet photo,
was introduced in the mid 1850's.
Enjoy,
Frank

Actually, it's funny. Perception today is that women don't smoke
pipes normally, but 100 years ago and before, a woman was most likely
to be a pipe smoker if she used tobacco products. A little later in
the collection is a petite, very prim and proper looking little pipe
smokin' lady... (Cabinet Photo).

Very cool. Pipes used to be so much smaller then they are today. In
comparison, the pipes today are monstrous in size.

My Grandmother used to smoke a cob. And drink tons of beer, much to the
consternation of her 'high society' daughters. She was a neat lady.

Ist photo looks like Bing Crosby's great, great grandfather.

Besides the two you've seen, I have another cabinet photo and two
stereoviews. Tintypes of female pipe smokers are rare. As Kate
mentioned, if a woman smoked back then it was very likely a pipe.
The photo of the union soldier smoking the pipe DOES look like Bing
Crosby now that you mention it Funn!

Very enjoyable to see photos of pipe smokers of past times and shows
women enjoyed it as much as men.
