Romanticized studio portrait of opium use entitled "When bachelor dens cast over waking hours a loneliness so deep." Image shows a young man relaxing on a fur covered chaises lounge with a hookah on the left and various smoking equipment on the left. This romanticized view of carefree opium use started with De Quincey's popular "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater" and endured until the 1920's. Image from a stereograph released by Underwood & Underwood in 1904.
