Made with a fume of sighs
A quietly cinematic moment: three men pause to smoke, caught in grainy mid-century light. Likely taken in the 1950s or earlier, this original silver gelatin photograph—with deckled edges and timeless character—offers a striking masculine presence ideal for curated interiors.
