8660514 Votaries of the Weed No 26 (colour litho) by Clarke, Joseph Clayton (Kyd) (1856-1937); Private Collection; (add.info.: Votaries of the Weed, No 26. For sheer physical enjoyment, there is nothing within this vale of tears to equal the after-breakfast pipe. And if it be smoked in bed, say when the toiler takes his weekly day of rest or indulges in a well-earned vacation which entitles him to the luxury of an additional hour or so between the sheets, it should reconcile poor erring humanity to the loss of paradise; for according to all authentic history, Adam had not even a nodding acquaintance with the divine properties of the glorious herbs.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph, titled "Votaries of the Weed No 26" by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), captures a scene of pure relaxation and indulgence in the early 20th century. The image depicts a man enjoying his after-breakfast pipe in bed, savoring the simple pleasure that comes with smoking tobacco. In this moment of quiet contentment, all worries seem to fade away as he immerses himself in the soothing ritual.
The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns on the man's bedding and the subtle play of light and shadow in the room. The warm hues used in this print evoke a sense of coziness and comfort, inviting viewers to imagine themselves partaking in this leisurely activity.
Through this artwork, Clarke celebrates the joy found in small moments of self-care and relaxation. He reminds us that amidst life's challenges and responsibilities, it is important to take time for ourselves and enjoy simple pleasures like smoking a pipe or taking an extra hour between the sheets on a lazy day off.
This nostalgic piece serves as a reminder to slow down, appreciate life's little joys, and find moments of peace amid our busy modern lives.
