I don’t like smoking images but some like this one do convey a sense of anticipation, he could be waiting at the court house or even at the maternity hospital, or just having a quiet break from work in his local. Too many unanswered questions which make collecting so frustration but such a joy :-D

Haha! Very true! I can’t escape the smoking and drinking collecting old photos. It was like breathing air. Everybody did it!

Perhaps but not everybody. I think there’s a revival. For example I’m not sure if you’re familiar with Peaky Blinders but they chain smoke in this series lol
