Votaries of the Weed No 22 (colour litho)
8660509 Votaries of the Weed No 22 (colour litho) by Clarke, Joseph Clayton (Kyd) (1856-1937); Private Collection; (add.info.: Votaries of the Weed, No 22. There is an undoubted affinity between Bird's-eye and gardening. Why this should be, not ours to determine. Suffice to say that most of the amateur gardeners we wot of, smoke it-and smoke it with visibly increased gusto as they unearth the treacherous earwig from beneath a potted pet, or track the wily slug to his lettuced-lair.
