I wouldn't be surprised to hear that we all do it - see a sufficiently old photo, start scanning the crowd for a hand or clenched jaw containing a pipe. Sometimes you can spot them right away, sometimes you can see a photo a half-dozen times before realizing there was a pipe hiding somehwere in there. What follows are three historic photographs, each with at least one pipe in evidence... including one I only spotted this morning while looking for photographs, despite having originally come across the picture over a month ago.
