Napoleon Bonaparte's dearest Josephine had stub like and blackened chompers because of a childhood of sugar cane chewing.
She was born in Martinique to a creole sugar plantation owning family.
Napoleon once wrote to her, “You to whom nature has given spirit, sweetness, and beauty (except when you open your mouth), you who alone can move and rule my heart, you who knows all too well the absolute empire you exercise over it!”
This vintage postcard friend is transporting the sugar cane crop to the train station. It's off to be shipped internationally. I happily ship my vintage postcards overseas too. Editor: That is a pretty shameless plug Marie: Jeez! Go eat some sugar cane:)
