Votaries of the Weed No 26 (colour litho)

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. Illustration for one of a set of cigarette cards with the title Votaries of the Weed, issued by Gallaher in 1916.
