Summary

[edit]
Hookah, tobacco pipe smoked in Bengal, India, 18th C
Title
Hookah, tobacco pipe smoked in Bengal, India, 18th C
Description

The Hooka. Copperplate engraving showing a hookah, or Indian bubble-pipe. (Ives wrote that: ' the smoke passes through water before it enters the mouth, and is thereby very cool ... [the tobacco] too is of a mild kind ... made into a paste with sugar, scented ingredients, and rose-water, and thus smoking is made agreeable to persons who would otherwise dislike it ... [the Hookah] will serve to give a competent idea of all the pipes that are used throughout Asia.)
