Votaries of the Weed No 30 (colour litho)

8660517 Votaries of the Weed No 30 (colour litho) by Clarke, Joseph Clayton (Kyd) (1856-1937); Private Collection; (add.info.: Votaries of the Weed, No 30. This is one of those fine, old conservative types that reduce the modern "push and go" man to the actual verge of drivelling idiocy. He smokes exactly five cigars-and they are cigars, mind you-per diem; the after-breakfast one at 10.15; another at 12.30, towards the end of his morning stroll; yet another at 5, with his cup of tea, and the two final ones when the cloth is removed at 8.45. And the needle is not truer to the pole than the old gentleman to his daily five.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming colour lithograph print titled "Votaries of the Weed No 30" by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd) captures a quintessential image of a conservative gentleman indulging in his daily ritual of smoking cigars. The fine details and intricate lines bring to life the character of this old-fashioned man, who meticulously enjoys five cigars per day at specific intervals. The illustration showcases the dedication and precision with which the gentleman adheres to his smoking schedule - from his morning stroll to tea time and after dinner. Each cigar is savored with care, embodying a sense of tradition and routine that contrasts with the fast-paced modern world. Created as part of a set of cigarette cards in 1916, this artwork offers a glimpse into early 20th-century English culture and habits surrounding tobacco consumption. The artist's skillful depiction not only captures the physical act of smoking but also conveys a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. As we admire this vintage print, we are transported back in time to an era when such rituals were commonplace, reminding us of the enduring allure and charm associated with traditional customs. It serves as a delightful window into history, inviting us to appreciate the artistry and storytelling embedded within each stroke of Clarke's brush.
