Votaries of the Weed No 14 (colour litho)
8660503 Votaries of the Weed No 14 (colour litho) by Clarke, Joseph Clayton (Kyd) (1856-1937); Private Collection; (add.info.: Votaries of the Weed, No 14. This brainy gentleman is not particularly fastidious with regard to the tobacco he smokes. What he is sternly and uncompromisingly in earnest about is the size of his pipe. The hugest, heaviest, and most cumbersome "bull-dog" briar manufactured is all too small for his lofty imaginings. What he really craves for is a sort of Super-Pipe.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the Votaries of the Weed No 14 in all their glory. The brainy gentleman depicted here may not be particular about the type of tobacco he smokes, but when it comes to his pipe, he is uncompromisingly serious. His desire for a Super-Pipe is evident as he holds onto the hugest and most cumbersome "bull-dog" briar with pride.
Illustrated as part of a set of cigarette cards titled Votaries of the Weed and issued by Gallaher in 1916, this piece reflects the cultural nuances and trends of early 20th-century England. The attention to detail in capturing both the character's demeanor and his oversized pipe adds depth to this artwork.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where smoking was not just a habit but a ritualistic practice that defined one's identity. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this scene to life, allowing us to appreciate the artistry behind Joseph Clayton Clarke's work.
In conclusion, this print serves as a window into history, offering us a glimpse into a world where even something as simple as smoking could be elevated to an art form.
