Smoker with Dog
Smoker with Dog
In 1924, as Josef Wackerle designed this elegantly dressed gentleman with pipe for the fireplace of the steamship “Patria”, smoking was still permitted in all public places. Nonetheless, many people often preferred to retreat into specially equipped rooms, where they could enjoy their passion for tobacco in peace. The intricately designed fireplace corner with bar, located in the first class section of the grandiose passenger ship, was one such place. Here, alongside the “Smoker with dog” wall decoration, was the “Smoker with tobacco jar”, a second figure by Wackerle.
