1910 France
Delightful Parisian woman enjoying a serene moment
in her private cannabis garden...
Her companions are her fluffy faithful feline and her caged bird. Keeping
songbirds as pets is a hobby as old as the ancient Sumerians, but small home
aviaries became a status symbol in the 1800s and early 1900s.
Likely, this young lady enjoyed the company of her birds as a way to connect
with nature. Interestingly, her garden contains several cannabis plants. It
could be that the unique leaves and vibrant foliage were sought after as a
garden plant.
Or, it could be that the young woman or her family were utilizing the
medicinal properties of the cannabis plant to treat any one of a number of
ailments.
