BRETON MAYOR AT EASE |
SOLACE OF TOBACCO |
|
| Passing strangers might not at first see in this quaintly-garbed figure, with roomy breeches, dark surcoat, and round hat, a person of importance. As mayor of a Breton village, he controls local affairs and acts as friend and advisor in many matters to his fellows | At her cottage door she presents a quaint picture in her tattered shawl and skirt and neat white close-fitting cap as she applies a match to the coarse tobacco in the bowl of her short clay pipe and enjoys the first comforting puffs |
