A mark of the Victorian genteel , the mid-19th century smoking cap was an especially comforting accessory to many a socially minded officer of the more leisurely geared life of winter camp. A demonstration of individuality with a frequently rich gaudiness, the smoking cap, designed and stitched by loving hands, offered a most popular remembrance from home when shipped to the front. Examples of these highly prized 'camp' or smoking caps may be seen in the more advanced public and private collections with published illustrations appearing in both of Time Life’s Echoes of Glory volumes. This offering is of colorfully hand embroidered black silk with quilted silk lining. The cap is in excellent all original condition yet with the most minimal evidence of age and period use as testimony to originality. A wonderful all original example remaining in fine condition.
