Summary: "Smokiana: Historical; Ethnographical" by R. T. Pritchett is an ethnographic account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the cultural and historical aspects of smoking, particularly focusing on the diverse objects associated with the practice, such as various types of pipes and smoking apparatus from around the world. It captures the evolution and regional differences in smoking customs, primarily revolving around tobacco and other substances. The content of the book is organized thematically, presenting a plethora of illustrations and descriptions of smoking devices, historical references, and cultural practices associated with smoking in different regions, including Europe, Africa, and Asia. Pritchett highlights the significance of pipe-making traditions, the materials used in crafting these objects, and the sociocultural connotations behind smoking practices. The narrative is not just a catalog of pipes; it is a vibrant exploration of how smoking has permeated various cultures and eras, illustrating the cultural exchange that occurred through this common ritual. Overall, it serves as both a historical artifact and a study of the ethnographic significance of smoking. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
