Votaries of the Weed No 23 (colour litho)
8660512 Votaries of the Weed No 23 (colour litho) by Clarke, Joseph Clayton (Kyd) (1856-1937); Private Collection; (add.info.: Votaries of the Weed, No 23. This veteran merits a niche in our gallery though he be no smoker. As a matter of fact-and taste-he has indulged in a life-long courtship of the sister art. He snuffs. And habitual smokers, debarred through the exigencies of circumstances their accustomed whiffs, know how soothing a substitute is that timely though fleeting pinch of "rappee."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph titled Votaries of the Weed No 23 by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd) captures a unique moment in early 20th century English culture. The image features a distinguished gentleman who, despite not being a smoker, is portrayed as a connoisseur of snuff. In an era when smoking was prevalent and fashionable, this veteran stands out for his devotion to the sister art of snuff-taking.
The intricate details and rich colours in this print bring to life the essence of an age where social rituals and habits were deeply intertwined with daily life. The man's contemplative expression hints at the pleasure he derives from his beloved rappee, offering a glimpse into a world where even non-smokers found solace in tobacco-related indulgences.
Published as part of a set of cigarette cards by Gallaher in 1916, this artwork provides a fascinating window into the cultural norms and practices of its time. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece, showcasing Kyd's talent for capturing moments that are both ordinary yet extraordinary in their significance.
This print is not just about smoke; it is about tradition, ritual, and personal enjoyment - themes that transcend time and continue to resonate with viewers today.
