"Hemp: From Dundee to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica" Step into the world of hemp, a versatile plant that has left its mark on various cultures and industries throughout history. In 19th century Scotland, Baxter Brothers & Co in Dundee played a pivotal role in the hemp trade, supplying it for multiple purposes. As we delve deeper, we discover intriguing connections between hemp and unexpected elements like quince trees and fruit. The enchanting Cydonia oblonga intertwines with hemp's story, perhaps hinting at an ancient relationship between these two natural wonders. Le Vocabulaire Illustre takes us on a visual journey through time with its engraving depicting "Chanvre; Hemp; Hanf. " This captivating artwork transports us to different eras where hemp was prevalent. Moving forward, we encounter Hogarth's Harlots Prog. , specifically panel four featuring Nurse Sister Hemp during World War I. A symbol of strength and healing amidst chaos, she reminds us of the significant role that this plant played during wartime. A glimpse into history reveals a delivery truck from around 1910 proudly transporting bundles of hemp. It serves as a testament to how essential this crop was for transportation and commerce during that era. Witnessing traditional rope-making techniques in St Vincent, Caribbean showcases the practical side of hemp. Its fibers transformed into sturdy ropes highlight its durability and reliability even under challenging conditions. The cover image from "Le globe trotter" newspaper captures an exotic scene: a smoker alongside a skilled spinner working with hemp in Congo back in 1906. This snapshot emphasizes how deeply intertwined cannabis culture is with global exploration and trade routes. Exploring further facets of cannabis sativa brings us face-to-face with Indian hemp – known by many names such as marijuana or ganja – revealing its rich cultural significance across different regions worldwide.
